My staffie has the same problem. I have at least been able to calm the stratching down by using a shampoo that has teatree oil & aloe vera and/or lavender oil.  Once out of the bath, and the furr is dry. I have some oil thats called "coat calm", that is basically olive oil with lavender oil in it that I rubb on her dry spots. I also have a bottle of lavender water, that I spray her with daily to calm the itch... lavender is also a mild antibaterial agent.
