   Go to the vet. If they have a skin infection or mange, no dog shampoo or dish soap will help that.

   You have to take them to the vet. If an infection they need antibiotics and if an allergic reaction you need to get them on antihistamines and some steroids. Try changing their food to an allergy one asap and get them to the vet asap.

   have you went to the vet, they can give you some medicated shampoo that will help. don't try to just take care of it on your own. it could be something contagious that you may be spreading around, here are some ideas on what it may be.
   MANGE- (sarcoptic)they will lose hair everywhere, not just in spots and is very contagious.
   (demodex) they will lose hair in patches and will most likely have it the rest of their life, not contagious.
   FLEA ALLERGY- they will scratch one area where a flea bit them until they get raw, not contagious, just means they're allergic to flea saliva.
   FOOD ALLERGY- you will need the vets help to determine this most likely
