1. Ringworm
2. Staph hypersensitivity (where he is allergic to the staph bacteria that most dogs carry on their skin - this is RARE though)
3. Skin reaction to shampoo - did you change his shampoo recently?
4. bacterial infection


most things come back to he either has a bacterial infection that needs antibiotics or an allergy of some kind. Id take him to the vet also. Just in case! He may be very uncomfortable! Poor little guy!!

He has been itching his feet lately, not really one particular spot. I just hope that it isn't life threatening.
