Is there anything he could be rubbing against, or have you changed any cleaning substances lately?

I'm with ella on the demodex, but a photo would help and Caryll's question is also pertinent.

I would go to the vets, they will probably do a skin scrape to check for demodex, as said above it is very common in pups, although it usually starts on the head/face.

It is easily treatable, but best to pop to the vet for a proper diagnosis

Great to hear they could find the diagnosis!! Keep on with those treatments, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! We are going through the same thing at the moment too!
Hope Bozo gets better very soon! Smile and thanks for the update! x
