Unfortunately much more history would be needed in recommending a cause and treatment for your dog's problem. Questions like when did it start, how old is your pet, is it year round, what medications were given, etc need to be answered first. If frustrated with your general practitioner, try seeking out a specialist. There are veterinary dermatologists. They have a much greater knowledge of skin and skin diseases then the general practitioner. One may be a distance to travel, but it'll be worth it. It may also be more expensive then you are used to, but remember, these people have far more training in dermatology then your local vet. They have gone through internships, residencies, submitted research papers, and passed very rigorous board exams. Look for one that is licensed by the American College of Veterinary Dermatologists and be a Diplomat, American College of Veterinary Dermatology. Allergies could very well be the cause, however it may also be due to other medical conditions. It's not only inappropriate but unprofessional to make a diagnosis or recommend treatment without a proper history or medical evaluation. Good luck!
