Melanocyte alopecia and zincc responsive dermatitis have come up, but definitely no diagnosis right now. I think she is losing some hair on her ear too.

If we have unlimited funds, I'd probably choose to biopsy or do a ton of bloodwork, but she doesn't appear to be in danger, so we are just watching it. A derm consult also wouldn't be a bad idea, but no rush here...

I hope your vet figures it out.

BTW, Ellie is usually itchy to an extent and she rubs her face, but not enough to cause anything like this.
Is she losing any hair on her elbows, sides of her chest or abdomen? Is her skin smooth on her underside? I'm sorry, how old is she?
