Hello. I am so sorry for your worries with Nero. The best thing for something like this is to bathe him in an oatmeal based shampoo (either one for people, like Aveeno, or one labeled for dogs) using COOL water. Let him soak for about 10 minutes & repeat daily as necessary. You do not want to use any topical creams or ointments as this may leave him a greasy mess. Hopefully, this will help his skin greatly. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
