Hi there,
I'm not a vet, and I'm not sure about the allergies, but I've had dogs that have had an occasional skin problems, and they are usually solved by giving them a bath with some medicated dog shampoo, followed by some people hair conditioner. Unlike people shampoo, which is harsh, people conditioner is ok; work it into the scalp of the dog for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Brush and dry as usual.

Also, I use Linatone on all my dogs of any breed. Its the most digestible supplement on the market, and the fish oils will help dry itchy skin. I swear by this stuff!

If you have raw patches or "hot spots", the above will help but also I have had good results applying hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball. The best thing I found is something called "colloidial silver solution" from a company called "R Garden" Also works on cuts and incisions. Best of all, you can use it too, if you get hurt. Heals everything FAST. Good Luck!
