English Mastiff skin issue

Vectra

New Member
Hi all, I am new to this forum and wonder if anyone can help with an issue.

Rocky is my 2 year old mastiff and he has developed a weird problem with skin and loss of hair.
He developed a small lump that scabs, scab comes off lump flattens for few days and cycle starts again, he is now getting a few other bumps staring to do the same and is losing hair in a funny pattern.

He has been to vets, had steroid cream that did nothing, they took a sample from lump looked at in microscope said no issue and they don’t know what problem is.
He was on Arden grange food now changed to Hills science food in the last week.
He is well in himself with an appetite and drinking.
I have just ordered some ( Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic & Antiseborrheic Medicated Dog Shampoo, 16 oz - Paraben, Dye, Soap Free - Hydrating and Antifungal Shampoo) going to bath in that see if helps.

Has anyone had similar issues with their mastiff?
See pics

Many thanks

Could be allergies, pollen, food, environment, is the lumps and hair loss all over his body, or mainly on his stomache or back,
Is his food chicken based, my mastiffs cant have chicken,
