Hi, my name is Michael, and I have a happy healthy Dachshund named Buddy,. Buddy has lately had dry skin patches circular in shape where the hair becomes brittle and falls off. It does not spread to my second Dachshund, is not severely itchy (Only occasionally) and reacted positive to steroids but occurs once off. Has anyone experienced this in their smooth haired Dachshund? Pictures Attached.

I've never had that happen. Is it some type of fungal infection maybe?
I'm currently trying a couple different antifungal medications and reinstating some flea and tick medication at the same time. He's happy and not in any pain or discomfort but if it doesn't get better I'm going to schedule a vet visit. Also plenty of antibiotic and antihistamine baths
