Help me figure out what’s wrong with my moms doodle please

Hi. So this is my mom’s dog and he is an old English sheep dog standard poodle cross. Please don’t come at me because I tried to educate my parents on doodles, but this was after they had already gotten one, and they have committed to not getting one again so there’s that.. anyway I’m going to love the dog we have and right now we need some help so please don’t pass judgment and hate onto our situation if you really hate doodles, just scroll on past. Ok here goes. So our dog was already shaved when he arrived at the groomer, he was about an inch long hair all over. He was booked for a bath and come out with a sanitary trim. They accidentally had a mixup and shaved him on a number 10. We immediately noticed some dark spots all over his back in butt area. Being a doodle he does have some skin problems because he’s not the best bread boy… but this is something completely different. I’ve never seen dark spots like this, and he honestly looks like a leopard. We took him to the vet and they said it was just the hair growth cycle and that we shaved him too short. (Again not our choice.) Now we are at a week later., these dark spots have started to lose their hair. My dog has become bald all over and we made the mistake of taking him for a regular walk in the bald spots are now sunburned. I feel like a horrible dog owner even though he’s my mom’s dog and I’m trying to help her best figure out how to cure this horrible situation. We’ve got him a shirt and he’s currently wearing that 24 seven and we have another vet appointment for Monday. Coconut oil seems to see what his skin and help a little bit. I will add that he also has really dirty ears all the time, and I can only describe it as an excess of wax . The veterinarian gave us an ear wash and told us to use it once a week which we do and the groomer regularly plucks ears. I just say this because I know that it may be related.. Anyway, if you have any ideas on what’s going on with my moms dog, please let me know. I don’t know if it’s related to just the shaving or if his hair will ever even grow back. He’s honestly a really sweet dog for a doodle and I love him a lot even without the hair.

Skin fold dermatitis- I'm out of ideas

My 6 year old Lab cross Benny has had skin fold dermatitis under his lip for nearly a year now. His vet and I have tried steroids, medicated creams, teeth cleaning, treating his water, antibiotics. I dry and clean the wound every day. He just scratches it and makes it bleed all over again. Vet says next step is surgery. Before we go there I thought I would ask others what they did. Can anyone help?

Massive cyst (?) on dog’s hind leg

Hi! My mom’s Japanese Chin has had some type of tumour or cyst on his hind leg with a small hole in it for a couple years now. It’s grown it’s max size, it’s hard and we can squeeze it with absolutely no reaction. It used to bleed and ooze but hasn’t for probably 1 year+. What could this be? I can’t find anything similar on Google. He is 15. He doesn’t limp or anything from it. Thanks❤️
