NEVER trust strangers, online, when it comes to your dog's health. Get offline and call the vet to make an appointment.
If your dog is having skin allergies, try changing his food to a lamb and rice formula. I would recommend Nutro Natural Choice. Sometimes the dog is allergic to an ingredient in it's dog food. I have a GSD/Doberman that has skin allergies to dog food with corn. Just try the food thing first. Call your vet and see what he says also.
What is he allergic to? Help him avoid the cause whenever possible.. As far as shampoo, if your vet recommended something, I would use that.. Otherwise you're kind of limited to something with Aloe and Oatmeal to soothe the skin.. You can talk to your vet about a benedryl dose to help the flare ups whenever possible. I'm not as familiar with the natural remedies for dogs, but if I find something, I will update this answer. You can also try simple things such as switching your dogs food bowls to stainless steel or ceramic, that has alot to do with allergy flare ups in dogs. Best of luck.
call the vet - they'll most likely tell you benedryl - but for the long term - look into changing his diet!
