Sarcoptic Mange

my dog has lost most of his hair along his back and tail and his ears smell. It is not sarcoptic mange and he is the only dog with this. He has had chronic ear infections and has a routine ear med. It seems to be like atopic dermatitis and he seems better with benadryl, he is also 13 yrs old. My vet has said I can use aloe vera juice after bathing him in cool water, as well as Bergamot, lavender, and almond oils to sooth & reduce inflamation & odor. Vet is 100 + miles away so I have to do symptom care until July 15th when vet returns.

I used Google and searched for photos of dog’s with yeast infection on the back looks like and this is what Google found :
