You would need to have him physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose a skin infection. It could be dry skin or the beginning of a shedding period. Bathe him in a pet approved moisturizing shampoo. Consider adding a fish oil supplement, such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps, to his diet to promote healthy skin and coat.
