It is usually, in my experience, the beginnings of a pathological itch that may come from allergies, but the allergies themselves may be "caused" by vaccination. Many more pets have this now than, say, 40 years ago, a period during which the number and kind of vaccinations they receive has increased exponentially, and the foods they eat have become much less natural (we used to feed pets on scraps from normal family meals.)
As a homeopath, I have now cured six of these cases, 5 in cats and one in a dog. All stopped chewing and their hair grew back. All of the animals required different remedies, and their symptoms varied slightly. Several animals required more than one remedy. All but one of the animals needed remedies that are commonly used in a different context to address negative vaccine consequences, so this is suggestive. The other animal had a family history of severe allergy.
I can't tell from your brief account what remedy your dog needs, but I would caution against using an external substance like Sulfodene to suppress the itch. Even if it seems to work, the energy of the inflammation has to be expressed elsewhere, and it is not uncommon for animals (and humans) to develop a more serious inflammation--most commonly asthma or joint inflammation. after the suppression of a skin disorder. Homeopaths see this constantly, and so do pediatricians, who have not yet caught on to why young teenagers treated with acne suppressing drugs somehow seem to get asthma.
