Dermatologist +++ full thyroid panel sent out to a good lab like Michigan State NOT done in-house in the vet clinic. Hypothyroidism is rampant in this breed and multiple skin problems are often a symptom. Low normal readings are NOT normal for Dobermans. There are some good threads on here about the issue. Just make sure he doesn’t have that going on as you won’t be able to solve skin problems in the presence of thyroid issues. Keep us posted!
