This sounds like mange (Demodectic or Sarcoptic mites), but a vet would have to do a skin scraping to be certain. Although it would be possible to treat for mites yourself, the drug has a narrow safety range and could be easily overdosed, killing the dog. This is really a situation where a vet needs to treat it, and if they don't, it is likely to get worse and spread all over.





Demodex are most likely to infect around the eyes and face, but they are also a different type of mites in that most dogs are resistent to them. A dog with demodectic mange could have an immune problem or other skin infection which will need to be treated to prevent them from getting re-infested over and over.
