hi 
So sorry to hear about your dog's condition...but good news is it's under control now 
a "dip" refers to a chemical wash. My dog was washed/dipped in Mitaban. I dunno what liquid you used to wash your dog with but it might be the same thing. It's a very toxic substance and it's supposed to kill the demo mites that's causing the problems on your dog's skin. This has to be used according to the correct measurement. Too much of it can be very toxic, even fatal to your dog. That's why many don't recommend it. I personally would skip it too, unless of course the condition of your dog is very very bad and needs immediate cure.
However, since your dog's condition is 'under control' now I suggest you try out the lemon solution suggested by ginl. I'm also using that on my dog now. What I do is I prepare it, keep it refridgerated and use some to wash the affected areas daily. Showing very promising improvement. 
About the hair....it will grow back. But you have to be patient lor..you can supplement your dog's diet with stuff like salmon oil or cod liver oil which will help his skin & coat. I also give him Nutricoat every other day.
The health of my dog (my own observation) did improve after I introduced cooked food mixed with his kibbles. I tried to put him on a raw diet but his stomach didn't take it so well. So now I'm cooking for him almost everyday. But please do this gradually...
I used his normal shampoo to bathe him. After that I washed him with the lemon solution. Works well on his skin and he smells like he just got out od the dishwasher...haha
And good news is - it's not contagious!
