I would discuss a biopsy with a vet. It could be a combination of all 3, and a biopsy will be the best way at trying to diagnose the disease process rather than trying a bunch of treatments that may or may not work. If it really is an allergic-type process, then often dogs need a combination of hypoallergenic dog food, good-quality flea preventatives, and immune-suppressive medications.
