Love the name, Jaxson, by the way! It's our little boy's name too!

Oddly enough, our Jaxson had some skin issues to begin with as well. We started him on oatmeal shampoo baths, and even switched his food to one that the groomer and vet both recommended. It has helped tremendously!!

I would definetely talk to your vet and talk with the pet store owners where you buy your food. They'll know which brands/types would benefit a little Yorkie with skin issues. Your vet will be able to tell you if there's something else that might be going on too! Don't wait too long and let it get worse!

Just fyi...the brand of dog food that we now go with is Canidae, and it's grain free.

Good luck!
