You could bringing allergens in on your shoes, clothes, hair, money, purse etcetera...so it still could be enviro/pollen.

So, when did they start? The crinkly/thinning skin has me concerned about things besides allergies -- things like Hypothyroid or Cushings. What other symptoms, even non-skin ones, are present? How did he find the yeast -- by looking at the skin? Bc your kiddo should be checked by skin smear -- if it's a bacterial skin infection (pyoderma), then Simplicef will/should kick its butt. I would def think about checking thyroid and I'd be interested in hearing of more symptoms.

Is she peeing or drinking more? Pot belly? Muscle wasting? Ear issues? Hair loss/thinning? Just anything at all?

Oh also, the brown stuff could be just inflamed by itching/irritation - Wylie has had this a few times, and each time his Vet Derm finds it to be just inflammation (not yeast), but that he has the pyoderma.
