Thank you for submitting your question regarding Oreo. He will need to see his veterinarian for a simple procedure known as a skin scrape to determine if he has mange or not. The scraping is evaluated under the microscope to look for any mites. If so, treatment will be started. If not, he will likely be checked for ringworm or possibly allergies will be considered. I hope this information helps!
