I have experiencs with mange cases one type is in the blood stream and isn't treatable and usually results in death the other type is a topical paricite and can be treated with a special soap proscribed by a vet if caught early enough they have a chance of a very happy life. I would visit a vet and have the sweetie checked. I would hate to say it's just allergies and then turn out to be something life thretening. Best of wishes.

The seasonality of your dog's clinical signs suggests allergies. The types of allergies in dogs are flea, food, and atopy (environmental). Allergies need to be treated several angles--frequent bathing, anti-histamines, omega-3 fatty acids, treating secondary infections (yeast, bacteria, or mites), immune modulating medications, steroids, and/or allergy injections. The type of treatment depends upon the severity of signs. Ringworm is also a possibility. Mites, other ectoparasites, and several endocrine (hormonal messenger system) diseases are also possible. You need to work with your veterinarian to diagnose the cause of hairloss and itching, they will help you form a treatment plan and help your dog feel better. Skin problems are frustrating and are often about control not cure.
