Sounds like an allergy.
Perhaps ask the vet to take some blood to test for allergies it may give you the answers you are looking for.
My dog had allergy tests and surprisingly what I thought was the problem wasn't it was something totally different he reacted to.

Agree with bevb, highly sensitiverty, to somthing, could be grass?

I'd be washing her in a neem shampoo, which will treat the skin and the coat www.neemgenie.co.uk 

got results back allergic to house and dust mites . making a vacine up could take six weeks but given loads of tablets and vet's claiming direct for us as i no the owner.

One of my dogs allergies is house dust mite so I now vacuum daily and I invested in a steam cleaner that i now use throughout the house including sofas, beds etc at least once a month to keep house dust mites to a minimum.

do' the steam cleaner work? has your dog's condition improved?.

Yes the steam cleaner does work.   My dog has numerous other allergies too though, but i did see a big difference during the winter months when he was inside.
