Default NEED HELP! MY DOG HAS A SKIN PROBLEM

In the beginning of this summer (03) my dog jumped in the pool with
her Hartz Mountain flea collar on. She had been in the pool many times
but not with a flea collar. When she came out of the pool, she still
had her collar on and she dried with it on and it stayed on. Shortly
thereafter (1-2 weeks), I noticed clumps of fur around the house. Then
the fur on her chest fell out. Of course we removed the flea collar
and brought her to the vet. She has been to the vet many many times
since the beginning of the summer. She has been on allergy medication,
steroids, cortizone pills, antihistamine and antibiotic sprays. All
this only temporarily relieves and controls the problem. She still has
scally patches of skin where clumps of fur come out easily in your
hand. She has also developed lumps around her head, ears, neck. this
is also the area where the fur falls out. She is now being shampooed
weekly with medicated shampoo, which helps alot but doesn't completely
alleviate the problem. I don't know whether to go back to the vet, try
a dermatoligist or what. I feel strongly this is a reaction to the
flea collar and the chlorine in the pool. Does anyone have any
experiece with a similiar problem? Does anyone have a cure? Thanks
