Default Itching and biting

My 5 year old Reggie has been licking and biting himself a lot recently. Its a lot of itching his lower back and biting his paws. I know that everyone will say its a food allergy, but I have had him on the same exact food for at least 3 years now. Its an organic formula and he loves it. As soon as we put on his inflatable e-collar to stop from itching he is totally fine which makes me think it might be behavioral. We keep it on him all the time and he even falls asleep in our bed with it on. Then when my husband takes it off in the middle of the night, he starts his itching and crying, and I hve to put it back on and spray some aloe vera on him for him to fall asleep again. I am starting to get really worried. Before I was convinced it was behavioral and now I am nervous and unsure. Please help if you have experienced the same! =/

PS during the summer he has dry itchy skin and he takes temiral for it. I have been giving him half a pill twice a day which seems to help some, but not enough!
