Default scratching

My 17 yr. o;d mini poo does the same thing. She has scratched and "eat" her fur off for years. Right now, her fur is off half up her back from the rear. Just red naked skin. I have had her tested and treated over and over and nothing works. I am ashamed to even take her to be groomed. She is miserable and I can't help her. I've changed her shampoo, food and everything except the carpet. I am beginning to think after all these years that I need to put hardwood floors down. She does eat some table food. Can't help but give it to her she is so pitiful. The pug also eats table food so how can I not give Sugar some? One vet did tell us that would cause it but we stopped giving her people food for awhile and it didn't get better. I sure hope my new Yorkie doesn't start that. i even use neosporin on some of the trouble spots. it started like 'hot spots" and just gradually got worse. She literally pulls her fur out with her teeth.
