Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Fluffy is having skin issues. I would check to see if Fluffy has any fleas or ticks in her fur that could be contributing to her behavior. I would also see if she has any sores or lesions. If she does, I would recommend she be evaluated by her regular veterinarian, as she may need antibiotics if her skin is infected. In the meantime, I would bathe her in a gentle dishwasher soap (such as Dawn), ensure you remove all soap from her fur while rinsing her, and gently dry her to see if that helps. Good luck!
