My ryeland ram once sheared  has small bald patches with yellow scabs which flake leaving ping skin underneath. And I think possible is loosing fleece in patches on his legs. He seems to be itchy as is scratching on posts a lot. Was hoping to self diagnose, I think it sheep scab (mange mite) or lumpy wool? Any ideas and should I call a vet? It's very mild and small lesions.

Take a skin scraping to the vet - different beasties need different meds
