My 7yr old male does the same exact thing. We went from vet to vet and they all tried something different . Benedryl, hypo allergenic shampoo changed his diet several times, predisone, creams on his face. It was a nightmare we went thru this for 5 yrs. No one could exactly pin point it except for the enviroment and then I met an older vet, and he gave him a depocote shot and finally we have relief. He is finally at peace. I felt so badfor him for all those yrs because he was totally miserable and I felt helpless. He was really a puppy on the edge of literally being drove crazy because he couldn't stop gnawing and rubbinghis face. Thevet said some do not like to give smaaler dogs the shot because it has side effects in the end but to me quality and quanity are two diffeent things and we chose to give him the shots. He is 7 happy and finally peaceful. He gets his shots on average every 6 to 8 weeks. Hope this helps. Sorry so long.
