Newbie here...

My baby has the skin irritations on his back; using the medicated shampoo from his vet. Not much change there, even with a bath every 4 days.

Now he has dark, reddish 'freckles' on his inner thighs; and under his front legs, next to his chest, he has what looks like dirty spots; like he got into motor oil or something like that, they just won't wash off. Neither of these conditions seem to bother him. There's no itching, no biting, etc. If you didn't look, you'd never know anything was there.
There's been no change in his food for the last 6-7 months, and only the medicated shampoo is a new thing.
There've been all the usual blood tests, smears under the microscope, etc. ~I'm changing vets really soon~

So...any ideas as to the what, how or remedy? I'm at a loss.
