I have a 10 month old French Bulldog and his face stinks. Is this normal? And he keeps getting this re-occuring skin irritation that looks like mange but I took him to the vet who says it is NOT mange but a FORM of mange that is not contagious. He said it can come from a weak or underdeveloped immune system or my Frenchie can be simply stressed. This dog is so SPOILED I can't imagine him being stressed. Anyone with the same problems?

He has been treated for the skin problem.

How is it NOT mange, but a form of mange that is not contagious??????????? That does not make sense. It sounds like he would be referring to Demodex, which IS mange, but is not contagious. It is however treatable and SHOULD be treated.
Get some more information from the vet, or get another vet!
You said it is "reoccuring". And if the dog smells, there is a problem.
I would see another vet. Second opinion kinda thing. I had a Frenchie, and he wasn't smelly or had any kind of skin problem.
