First bring your dog to the vet to see what the cause of this is from if you have applies any flea med to that area let your vet know about this If this is from a bacteria infection your vet will know Bring your dog to the vet there is a powder that has like a steroid in it. shave the area and apply that powder onto the area don't worry the hair will grow back then buy a product which is called a lamp shade which you can purchase at your vets the lampshade goes around the neck of the dog it doesnt bother them but with the 2 of these products this will take care of your baby GOOD LUCK...

Sounds like it's either a fungal infection of the skin, like ringworm, or it's mange. You need to go to the vet and they will do a skin scraping and look at it under a microscope to see what it is & give you medication.

You should consult a vet - only a vet can correctly diagnose the problem and prescribe the medication which will clear this up.

From my experience, iI think that your dog is allergic to dust mites. Any good pour-on or spray-on like bayopet or frontline, applied regularly would do the trick.
