This really needs to be examined and treated by your veterinarian. Your dog could be suffering from an allergy, parasites, a bacterial or fungal infection. each of these requires a different treatment, so it is important to find out what is causing this. Your vet will do a thorough exam and maybe a a skin scrape. He will then discuss the options with you and then prescribe medications.
