Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tingu. You can start by bathing him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. This can help to control the itch and to soothe the skin. He will likely need to see his veterinarian though to determine the cause of his skin disease. Skin tests and even bloodwork may be recommended. Once the cause is determined, a treatment plan can be prescribed. I hope this information helps!
