It sounds like it may be allergies. You could always get one of those dog cones that they put around a dog's neck after surgery. It prevents the dog from chewing anything on their body. And with that, apply topical cream to reduce the redness. Also, check for fleas or ticks.

I would speak to your vet about possible causes. He may prescribe a cream for you or look into an elimination diet to see what is causing the itchiness. If it's not any of the above things it could be a behavioral habit that has developed over time.
Good luck! Let us know what you find out!
