It could be mites. It might also be a fungal infection. You can try a spot-on treatment for the mites or an anti-fungal cream (like an athlete's foot cream) for a fungal infection. If nothing seems to help, it would be best to get Bandit to a vet.

You will need to use a spot on treatment containing ivermectin, you can get this from pet stores. I would use this first and see if this helps. Dont use a shampoo until your sure it is mites. Sometimes vets arent always needed, if you catch these things early you can treat them yourself.
