There is no way to diagnose allergies from a photo, I am afraid. I suggest you take Roxy to your vet for an exam and show your vet where Roxy's ski looks strange or where she itches. Your vet will then do a thorough skin exam, possibly with a skin scrape r biopsy to find out whether there is an allergy or possibly a bacterial, fungal or mite infection.
