My puppy has pimples on his head and eyes, scratching them open. What is it?

Question

My puppy is 14 weeks old. He is a blue pit. About a month and half ago he started getting like little pimples on his head. Now they are around his eye and he scratches them open?? I put coconut oil on his head. But he runs when I try now... What can it be? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 19 days old | 20 lbs

Your puppy could be suffering from demodicosis (mite infection) or a fungal or bacterial skin infection. Please do not put cocout oil on the lesions, it will not work and possibly makes it worse. Please make an appointment with your veterinarian for an exam and proper treatment.
