Default Re: Hamster with grey reddish patch around eye.

If this was due to an allergy then you would see improvements pretty quickly, the weight loss is a concern & doesn't sound as though that's allergy related.
It could still be a mite issue, you do need a proper course of treatment from the vet if it is that but I wouldn't advise treating it yourself.
What are you feeding him? It's possible there's an underlying dietary issue or nutritional deficiency.
I would try to get an alternative substrate too, toilet tissue alone isn't enough. Kaytree clean & cosy should be ok if he's sensitive.
