My boy had mites with a lot of scabbing, but he's on Revolution now. It's been a couple weeks but his skin still looks really irritated - however upon closer inspection this could just be buck grease. What do you guys think?
Yeah, it looks like buck grease to me. Some older boys will have oranger skin. If it actually feels greasy or is flaking, I've read that giving them a little bit of olive oil or flax seed oil on a little corner of toast can help reduce it. If it's really bad, dietary changes may be necessary.
