I am sorry to hear about your issues with Bruno, it can be very frustrating dealing with skin problems. I cannot really see anything unusual in the photo provided. Sometimes skin pigmentation can change in dogs, so if the pigment has changed but it isn't irritated/red/itchy/oozy then I would just monitor. If it is irritated/itching despite current treatments he may need additional testing such as culture of the skin or allergy testing to determine why this is a problem.
