Does this happen year round or just seasonally? If year round, it is probably something in her food she is allergic to. If only seasonally, you can give her benadryl and/or use a topical spray and hypoallergenic shampoo on her. I personally love PETfection Deodorizer/Allergy Spray. It is 100% Organic, Non Toxic, and is amazing at helping with itchy spots/dry skin/bumps/etc. I use it for everything! You can spray it all over her body and any area that is red or irritated from scratching or is dry and flaky. I find it to work really well! They do make a great shampoo too. I hope this helps.
