Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. What you are describing sounds like she has quite a bad allergy. I would recommend starting the below products, which can be found online quite easily. If there is no improvement, I would recommend having her examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. There are good options that are available to treat the allergies. If the below products do not help, I would recommend discussing these alternative options with your vet. 1. Douxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area until resolved 3. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules 4. Essential 6 spot on by dermoscent
