Pugs are one of several breeds susceptible to demodectic mange, also known as "demodex". This condition is caused when parasitic mites, that are often present in a dog's skin without causing symptoms, are allowed to do damage because their host has a weakened immune system. It is a problem for many young pugs.
Pugs are susceptible to fleas and mites that dig into their skin and hide beneath their heavy fur. It is prudent to scan the skin all over with a firm hand to observe any abnormality. Investing in a good comb with flattened ends is a wise decision. Sprinkling an anti mite powder (Once a while) all over the skin is a good practice. It is advisable to consult your veterinary specialist before you apply an OTC product.
