Answer
Hi Tyrone,

My advice to you is to take your dog to the veternarian.  The dog may have mange or ringworm which both should be treated by a veternarian.  I would also consider washing him with an oatmeal shampoo or perhaps let the veternarian bath him.  You should wash your dog on an average of every 6 to 8 weeks.  I wouldn't suggest buying something that will make him smell better, I would be more concern that a medical problem is there.  


Feel free to email with anymore questions of concerns.
