Mammal skin disease (5)

I believe the answer is:

mange

(Other definitions for mange that I've seen before include "Skin disease of mammals" , "Canine skin disease" , "Parasitic skin disease" , "Domestic animals may find it very irritating" , "Disease affecting dog hair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
