I personally wouldn't use a human shampoo on dogs- dog shampoo is best, as its PH balanced for dogs..

Human shampoo is balanced for humans.. human shampoo is also designed to remove body oils, so it may dry your dog's skin and coat out more.

Also you are not sure what is going on with your pup, so I would really take him into the Vet to see what he thinks before trying any shampoo.
