There isn't a home remedy. If she has had allergy problems since she was even younger then now, it suggests an allergy to her food. It is most likely the protein and most commonly beef or chicken, I would recommend talking to your veterinarian about a limited ingredient or hydrolyzed prescription diet trial. You can talk to your veterinarian about other medications options as well if one didn't work as there are many. In the meantime, get some pet oatmeal shampoo and soak her lathered for 10-15 min this evening. You can also try a mild hydrocortisone cream on red spots for the night as well.
