A bath will not hurt your dog, but unless you take her to a veterinarian for an exam there is no way to know what is causing the itchy skin. She may have allergic skin disease, or a bacterial or fungal infection, and may continue to be uncomfortable until you can get a treatment plan in place to help the itching.
