Default what causes oily itchy hair ???

My little girl Lexi seems to have developed some sort of condition when she was about a year and a half years old. It began with a strip of her hair on her back turning black from a silver black mix. That began to be a bit itchy. Next her hair started getting oilier than normal to now maybe five months later being very oily and stinky and itchy. I keep her in a onsey so she doesn't keep making sores from scratch herself.
These are the things I tried changing thinking it might be allergies. Her food to Natural Balance with limited ingredients, shampoo and conditioner, our laundry detergent and softner washed the carpets with vinegar instead of pet carpet cleaner. I see no improvementand now she gets a bath every 3 days to control the oder. Oh yes she smell a bit like old or something strange. The things that remain the same are her treats 100% sweet potatoe sticks, carrots, and her dinner that consist of baby food carrots, baby food sweet potatoe sometimes organic fresh)mixed in imported organic Arborio(rice). I have to make this to put my boy yorkie, Charlie's medicine in for epilepsy.

If anyone has had the same problem and knows what I should do please let me know before I go crazy trying to figure it out. Thanks
