I noticed some minor hair loss on the back of it's fur and some minor irritation.

I hope it hasn't progressed to mange yet or my little buddy is screwed.

What's their life rate anyway?

I hope your hamster will be okay, too. They're too cute :c

Also some types of mange are transmissible to humans and I really really really really don't want scabies.

Ehh... If yours only lives a few months, either you've gotten a sick one or you're not a very good hamster owner.
They tend to live 1-2 years, although a friend of mine had one that lived until the age of about 4 or 5.
