Could it be hypothyroidism maybe, I was just reading about that, and hair loss is one of the signs.

As said before have a vet do skin scrapings and blood work.

What is the condition of the skin that is now exposed?  Pink? Black?

This sounds like one of my foster dogs that had demodectic mange.  The good news is DM is very treatable.
