Default small yorkie. big skin problems! please help us

i'm sorry. i'm new here and am trying to figure all of this out... i probably should have posted this as a new thread the first time instead of replying to dave...

hello everyone. i found this site while desperately searching for some answers to my little fella's problem. he has bumps all over his back and some dark spots on his belly. it started with a few small bumps on his back towards his tail and they turned into scabs so i took him to the vet. he thought it was allergies so he gave him a couple of shots and sent him home (after checking him for fleas). they seemed to go away after a coupld of weeks and then came back worse!! i took him back to the vet and he got more shots, changed his food, gave me medicated shampoo, and gave him antibiodics. they went away for a month or so and now, THEY'RE BACK AGAIN! he itches so bad!! i've been giving him 1/4 children's benadryl since he was about 1yr old when he gets allergies and it's not helping at all anymore. the spots seem to start out like little pimples or ant bites and then they turn into sores and scabs on his back. the spots on his belly start out like pimples also but they turn into grayish larger spots when they start to heal. he doesn't have sores on his ears or head... just his back and tummy. i'm soooo concerned and know if i take him back to the vet again it's just going to be the same ole allergy spill

can anyone please help my harley divot? he's so miserable-my heart breaks for him
