Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. This could be a skin allergy or skin infection. I would recommend the following products and see if this improves. These can all be purchased online quite easily. I hope this helps! 1. Douxo PS Calm shampoo 2. Essential 6 spot on by dermoscent 3. Krillex Krill oil chews
