Question Need Help, Chloe's skin is really really dry and flaking

Chloe has such dry flaky skin right now and this is the second time this has happened in the past 6 months. It looks like she has "cradle cap" and its even almost scabby, has anyone ever experienced this with thier yorkies? My best friend also has a yorkie and her dog is expereinceing the same thing so it makes me wonder if its environmental. Like maybe its extremely dry air that is doing this .
I dont know what to do, I dont know if I should bathe her more, bathe her less, change her food, change grooming products etc. Right now I bathe Chloe once a week like Ive always done and I use Pet Silk oatmeal shampoo and the Petsilk moisturizing conditioner. I have been told before by my groomer that petsilk has a lot of detergent in it so maybe its irritating Chloe's skin (if this is the case it doesnt explain why my friend's yorkie is having the same problem as she does not use petsilk products). So has anyone ever had this problem and if so what did you do?
