Dog with unknown Skin Condition?

My dog's name is Edsel and during the summer he developed a skin condition in which his skin is flaky, red, and itchy. He started losing his hair and started bleeding. We started to finally get him better by giving him a home remedy given to us by his veterinarian. During the start of the fall months he looked as if he was almost entirely cured. During the winter months however he started developing the same condition only worse this time with hardly any hair on his body, red, bumpy, dry, itchy skin. We try to brush the dead skin off of him but we seem to only get more sores with every stroke we made. Can anyone tell me [besides going to a vet] what to do?

Reply:I'm not a vet or an expert, but just a dog owner and dog lover. It sounds like your poor pooch has either allergies or a thyroid condition (both of which can cause all-over skin problems). You won't like my answer, but you're gonna need to take Edsel to the Vet...he shouldn't have to suffer.
Reply:Rub some vaseline on the dry skin. It might be fungus, change his bedding.
