    if your pomeranian is a puppy, it may be showing signes of mange ( 1 of 2 types of mange are actually contagious ). if it is an older dog, it may be expiriencing a skin allergy which can be corrected by a steroid injection... i recommend a trip to the vet. if they know what they are doing, the will take a sample of your dogs skin and look for parasites (mange) under the microscope. if none are detected, they will probably proceed with a shampoo or a steroid injection.its not usually a complicated process.
