Skin condition Hairless and yeast

Hi all just looking for some insight, coco is missing hair on back half of her body across back down one leg, and it has a strong yeast smell and rashy rough texture she licks a lot, I’ve seen mild raw patches.
She was diagnosed over 3 years ago with dka diabetes and pancreatitis, we know what her normal is, but she did just have a bad bout from mid December-April, usually she’s only out of sorts for a week or 2 and it happens every 3-4 months. (We had a really hard time with her appetite and pancreatitis, [dec-April]she would only eat 1-2 days then be sick for a week or two and lethargic luckily she’s back to her normal , it is expensive and emotionally hard to care for her and I want her comfortable, )
Anyway the point is to ask if anyone has dealt with issues like this with skin, trying to avoid dermatology. She seee her specialist every 3-4 months and now is supposed to get an echo every 6 months. She’s recently celebrated turning 12
Thank you ☺️

Has she had her thyroids tested? I'm no expert but we usually assume it's hypothyroid or cushings. Maybe look into getting her thyroid test done.

There are lots of experts and experienced owners here that can definitely give you a few pointers.

Goodluck and happy 12th birthday Coco!

I have a Westie, not diabetic, but they seem to have skin issues. I have been successful in using Curaseb as a topical. Sold on Amazon, no prescription. Clears things up in about one day, one application.
