Yes, that is exactly why he has to wear the cone. The area that they did the skin test was from his ears, so I am pretty sure that is the only place he has the mange. Minus a little bit here and there, the cone stays on all the time. He is getting used to it.

And it is sarcoptic mange....

It makes me laugh when we play fetch... he can only see straight ahead so if the ball goes out of his line of sight he basically runs in circles or random places looking for it. Poor little guy!!
