Answer 1

Ugh, sounds like me. When I was younger I had a severe case of eczema. It itches like crazy and you can't stop, even when it starts to get crusty and p***y. Yuck.

Can you cover it up with anything? Some old t-shirt or something? That'll help her a little.  

Answer 2

my akita cross has the exact same problem and she is 6 yrs old now i have taken her to the vets many times over this  and they normally give her a shot. one time (like you) i couldnt get her into the vets until the following week so i went out and bought exmarid ointment it is wonderful stuff although it doesnt look or smell nice it works great you just apply a thin layer onto the dogs affected area (mine was on her back) 3 times a day make sure she doesnt l**k it off and in a couple of days you will notice a big improvement  i have used this stuff ever since and i have never needed to take my dog back for expensive shots ever again  she still has her check ups the vet is happy with everything. you can buy this from your local pet store  it cost around £5 and is worth every penny. good luck :-)
