Hello and welcome to YT!!!
For the skin I use this shampoo and it relieves them and soothes and moisturizes the skin and coat. It also has fatty acids in it that also well help nourish the skin and coat. It is soap free so it is gentle to use, it has a bit of an oatmeal smell to it and with this shampoo you can use it as often as you want because it will never dry out the skin. The more you use the more of a difference you will see. Usually by the third time you can see a big difference. Here is the link

If this doesn't work then you will need to get a medicated shampoo for him.
Another thing you might want to consider is his diet. A poor diet can lead to dry and flaky skin. If you put him on a high quality food his skin and coat will be healthier and can clear it up. You can also give him either brewers yeast tablets for dogs or Missing Link for dogs and they will clear up his skin and coat problem and he will have a beautiful coat and healthy skin. Both products are relatively inexpensive and will last you for awhile. The missing link especially is great, lots of people here use it, it is a great product!! Here is a link for it...

As for the nails it is always best to start trimming them right away and get them use to it. If you don't know how to cut the nails, ask your vet or groomer to show you. It is really easy but if you cut the quick the first time he will be fearful of it and you will have a harder time cutting his nails next time. So make sure the first time is a pleasant and not frightening experience.
As for the ears you can shave the tips, massage them and even tape them if you want.
He sounds adorable, you need to post some pictures for us!!!
