Default Need help with pug skin problem

I have a Chinese pug that itches like crazy and smells really foul. I have
taken him to a few different vets no help there, he has been tested for
mange, nothing there, has been on antibiotics, bebdryl, thyroid meds,
changed his food, and still no help.
His skin has turned black and oozes oily substance. He has had this now

for
nearly 2 years and it is tearing me up seeing him tortured like this. I
can't afford to keep taking him to vet after vet and not getting him any
better.

Steroid shot helped him the most, is there anyplace I can get steroids for
him at a lower cost than the office visit? I would have no problem giving
him the shots, but I need to know how much and if I can even get them for
him.

He is about 20lbs and 6 years old, neutered.

It could be a yeast infection. Maybe this link will help.
