Default Dry, Hairless Skin patches
Does anyone know what it is? My dog is cured from this, my old vet gave me some cream to put on the problem skin parts. But i forgot what the skin disorder was called, Can anyone help me?
One is on by her right eye and the other patch is on the side of her body.

What do you mean she's "cured from this"?

It could be a Demodex flare up, if that's what she had before. Best bet is to take her to a vet for a skin scrape to rule that out.

Looks like it could be Demodex. Some people call it Red Mange. It isn't cureable, but it is manageable. Mollie has Demodex. When we first got her, she had to have the dips and treatments, she was about 6 months old then. She just turned 7 years old and hasn't had an outbreak since that first and only one when she was a pup. Having her spayed and making sure she is on a good quality, grain free kibble will help a lot as well.

They can do a skin scrape and determine if she is having a flare up of mites. It's pretty easy to treat, but left untreated, she will be miserable and itchy. Much easier to treat at the beginning before it gets full blown. My vet gave us something that looked similar to a flea collar, but was specifically for Demodex mites. It was about $20 and lasted 3 months. Ask your vet, but I did find a link for them, you can also google them, just look for Preventic Tick Collar :
