Confused New FurMom

Hello, I am a new yorkie mom and slowly adopting to all the processes. I bought my Sparkle from a less than reputable breeder and later realized she had fleas. I got her started on flea treatment in the first week and began taking her to PetSmart for grooming one every two weeks. I recently stopped taking her but continued the flea treatment. I have noticed she scratches a lot (always has from day one) but not he is rubbing on her ears and has white flaky patches on her bottom area. I went and bought some Oatmeal based puppy shampoo and bathed her on Saturday but now she is still very dry and the flakes are not improving. She hates to be groomed and bites at me or the comb/brush the entire time. When I bought her she was eating puppy chow, I am thinking of changing her brand of food but just did not want to constantly switch. Is there any suggestions to treat the severely dry skin on my baby, she will be 5 months on the 4th of August? Also, any suggestions on her overall care or anything as I am a first time pet owner and new mom and open to any suggestions or helpful tips.
Thanks in advance
