is it on his "rump"? Male syrians have a scent gland here on each side and when they get older this is where hair loss usually starts happening xxx

Well when skin gets dry it can get itchy. Is it scabby or just dry?

I'd just get a TINY bit of olive oil and rub it in the dry patches, the oil wont do any harm and might settle the skin.

Keep an eye on it x
