Default help identifying spot on head

Our puppy has a spot on his head a little larger than a quarter where
his hair is thin. There are also some tiny red spots on his skin there
and he scratches it some. Appreciate any help identifying this and
what might cure it.


Thanks in advance,
Tom

It sounds like the textbook presentation of demodex. See your vet; a
skin scraping is needed for diagnosis, and there are topical treatments
available.
