Please help identifying the disorder documented on the photo, because something is not right with my dog and she is bothered by something with her skin. There's mild hair loss and flaky skin where the spots are worst.

Most skin issues cannot be diagnosed online and need to be seen by a veterinarian, many things can cause what you're seeing ranging from parasites, infection, thyroid disease etc.. Some tests may need to be ran to rule out issues either it be blood work, biopsies or skin scrapings depending on what the veterinarian sees in person.
