What OTC can I give my dog for itchy skin from seasonal allergies?

Question

My dog has some seasonal allergies and his skin is always red and itchy, is there something over the counter that I can give him to help relieve the itch? I've been giving him 5mg of liquid benedryl but I can't give him too much of that. He's an 8lb yorkie. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 8 months old | 8 lbs

That is all you can at home besides a weekly to twice a week bath in a medicated shampoo. I would make sure you are on a good flea preventative and that a flea allergy is not a possibility. Environmental allergens may also be making this worse and they do have prescription medicine to help the itch that your vet can get you
