Have you had him tested for mites? You can't see mites...your vet has to test for them.

Have you inspected him closely, and I mean closely, for fleas? We have never had fleas but we do this year after I brought in a little stray that was infested. I was shocked to see how many my girls had...even the vet missed them on 2 visits because my girls have very thick hair and we never saw any on their belly's. I thought Moo had allergies because she was scratching and licking so much but now I think it was just fleas because we've treated them and the scratching and licking has stopped.

Also, you might try a different shampoo...I've heard the oatmeal shampoos can actually dry the skin and hair. If it's just dry skin you can use Dermcaps on his food once a day (you can find them at Petco)...it will ad extra oil to his system and help with dry skin.
