You've got a dog with either fleas or allergies.
If your dog is already on flea medicine, sounds like the dog is allergic to something it's either eating, or in its environment. Although there are some basic things you can do - oatmeal shampoo; wash his bedding without detergent in hot water; change food; change where he goes potty - you may have a larger issue on your hands.
Best to get the doggie to a vet! The vet may give you a Benadryl-type med, etc., but it's best to let the vet make the call on dog's meds.

He may be reacting to (allergies) his food. Switch him to one of the formulas at http://www.frrco.com/121668 I use and recommend the Fish and Chips formula. It's made to be non-allergic, helps skin and coat, and wards off ear infections related to allergies as well as other problems.
Because of the higher quality ingredients, you feed less of it than most commercial store carried brands, so it costs a few cents more per feeding.
Switch the food gradually by mixing the old and new foods until you have all new food and no old food in the mix.
Keep him on the new food for a couple of months to see the progress and improvement.

It depends on where he is scratching. If he's scratching at the folds in his face, say by his nose, it could simply be dirt trapped in his folds, and you should just take a damp cloth and clean under his folds, although he might not like it very much :). If he's scratching at his skin or biting his feet he might have skin allergies, and you should take him to a vet for further advice.

Your dog may be suffering from allergies, fleas or dirtyness. If it is bleeding, take him to the vet right away.

fleas?
lice?
food allergies??
food allergies are very common - especially if he is on a food from grocery or Wal Mart - the fillers often cause skin problems.. avoid SOY, WHEAT, CORN, PORK, BEEF and MEAT MEAL (mystery meat)
chemical allergies??
household cleaners often cause skin problems for dogs who lie on floors or carpets.. use natural products rather than harmful chemical ones (which also are cancer causing)
