What are you feeding him? A lot of skin problems are diet related.

I think you could find better foods. The usual culprits for skin problems are grains and sometimes chicken, and both these are quite high in grain as it is a cheap ingredient for the manufacturer.
Have a look at www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk
It is an independent dog food comparison website which scores all types of foods (dry, raw, wet) out of 100. You can set filters for your dog's breed, weight, age etc. and for your daily budget; then you can add in any specific needs you have such as aiming for weight loss or avoiding specific ingredients - definitely try grain free. The website will automatically show the foods listed in order of what the assessors believe is best quality, and it also will show daily feeding cost (calculated from your dog's age and weight) so you can see what gives you best value for money. It has its limitations but it's a decent place to start.
