Eczema shows red, itchy skin, hair loss, and red papules; from allergy, parasites, or low skin immunity. Use antibacterial spray with anti-allergy ointments such as fluocinonide or dexamethasone; severe itch needs oral antihistamines or steroids. Deworm, keep clean, and use an E-collar.

Dog fungal infections vary — malassezia, candidiasis, cryptococcosis, etc. Get a skin test to identify the type. Common malassezia or spore infections are treated with oral antifungals or topical sprays/ointments. Fungal infection needs a fairly long treatment; keep medicating until fully recovered to prevent relapse.
What Causes Red Bumps on a Dog’s Skin?

My Dog’s Leg Was Scraped by a Car – Skin Torn and Bleeding, but the Wound Isn’t Very Large
A leg scraped by a car and bleeding needs wound assessment. If small, flush, disinfect, and dress; first fit an e-collar to prevent licking or painful bites. Disinfect with iodine or alcohol; if heavy bleeding, apply pressure. Then spray an anti-inflammatory spray or ointment, change dressing twice daily until healed. If severe injury or unsure about fracture or internal injury, get X-rays at the vet.
What causes a lump at my dog’s tail base and on its chest?

I found skin issues on my dog while bathing—what’s the cause?
When unsure of the skin type, get a scraping at a vet to identify fungus/bacteria/parasite/allergy/mixed, then treat per guidance. If no vet access, shave fur around the area, clean/disinfect with saline and iodine, let dry, spray pet skin spray, add oral anti-inflammatory/anti-itch, use Elizabethan collar. If no relief in 5–7 days, get further checks; regular external deworming.
I suddenly noticed a bald patch on my dog—is it serious? What ointment should I use?
Per the image, the dog likely has fungal, bacterial, or mite skin disease. If it scratches, use an Elizabethan collar, shave the area, expose skin. Use a Wood's lamp—green fluorescence means fungal; treat with terbinafine/ketoconazole/itraconazole pet skin meds. No fluorescence suggests bacterial/mite—use antibacterial spray and zinc oxide, plus external parasite control. If no improvement, see a vet.
