Have you seen your vet about this?

Could be an allergy, could be something else (don't know if it could be
something like ear mites).

You can give her a benedryl tablet twice a day to help with the itching
and also will help her rest. However, she should be seen by a vet as
the cycle of licking, scratching can make whatever is going on worse.

The vet may give her a shot of a pregnisone-type med that will help with
any inflammation and itching and may also give her some anti-biotics to
take care of any infection that may be present.

Yes, she's been seen by a vet who gave her an injection and tablets but they
don't seem to work!
I just wondered if anyone knew of something that would work on allergic
dermatitis, which is cheaper than £ 80 for every visit and that actually
works!

Food allergies are a good possibility. Ask your vet about Hills Z/D food. We
find that many pets who have these symptoms are greatly relieved after about
2-3 weeks on Z/D. If the symptoms are relieved, then you have your answer.
Could also be a combination of food and environmental allergies.
