4 month old has dog hair allergy

Hi, my 4 month old son has such sensitive skin, he has ezcema and other allergies. My fiances dog came back from his parents yesterday, he is a collie/lab mix and loses hair like no tomorrow, it drives me insane. I myself have an allergy to him and i break out in hives and become so itchy because of his hair.
Now my sons skin had all cleared up for the first time in months and the minute he came in contact with the dog he started to become very red all over and he would not stop crying. What should i do?

Your situation is heartbreaking, nobody wants to see their child suffer like that. You have options to consider and it sounds as if you clearly know what the cause of the allergies are (ie.the dog). Discuss with your Fiancé the options of rehoming the pet and maybe waiting till your able to get your 4 month old baby checked out by a Dr. to determine if the k-9 comes back or not. Best of luck.
