Staffy skin issue

Hi everyone

Needing some advice and recommendations..

I have a staffy who is just over 1 years old and within the last month he has had really bad skin allergies and issues where he is constantly scratching and opening his skin mainly under his armpits and chewing his knees. I have changed his diet completely and he is now having kangaroo as he is allergic to most things

Went to the vet last fortnight and he was prescribed strong antihistamines and cefalexin antibiotics - which helped whilst he was on them however as soon as he stopped it came back worse. I will insert photos for reference

He is going back to vet tomorrow morning can anyone suggest anything for me? An injection etc because I feel like the antibiotics did not work and I don’t want to be constantly back in the vet clinic dropping hundreds of dollars each time

Any help is appreciated as I am quite anxious and distraught by this

Thank you
