Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Brutus could be suffering from a skin allergy or other primary skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis. I would recommend the below following products, which can all be found online quite easily. I would use these for at least 4-6 weeks before considering something else.

Krillex shed free chews 4. Essenti
