P:recious also suffers from extremely dry skin plus allergies.  I have 
noticed a big improvement after adding a big capsule of Omega 3 to her
diet. 
She loves the pills, I guess, because they tase fishy.  I also give her 
oatmeal baths. Once she starts scratching she will not stop until one of
us 
has a nervous breakdown. :-)
