my wife thought it was maybe his summer coat ?

I have a fawn with black mask too and I've never seen black spot on him like that. Hopefully someone else will be able to chime in or maybe you can take him to the vet and have it looked at.

How old is he? Are the spots only on the side or all over? Any scabs or moisture to the surface of the skin?

 

[nerja10]

they are only on the side in the photo,cant feel anything on his skin no scabs or anything,he is 14 months

it looks like oil marks and seems to be on his coat ? we thought it was strange especially when more seemed to appear

I'm thinking is is seasonal flank alopecia ... no itchy or painful just A loss of fur... you can rub unrefined coconut oil on it and also give vitamin D to help control it. But just to be sure have the vet check and rule out mange or skin infection

It is a skin infection brought on by allergies. Henri gets it every summer.
