Hi
I would suspect it could be the food. Don't ever feed ham or pork products to Yorkies. It can create some really serious digestive problems.
Your little pup could be allergic to the beef or chicken. There are also some hypoallergenic dog foods on the market. Although he is a puppy, six months isn't too bad to take him off puppy food. Dick Van Patten's Duck and Potato often will work well, it comes in tinned and dry food. You can mix a bit of the tinned with the dry.
An oatmeal shampoo might be a better way to go or you can try Head and Shoulders but mix it with water first, lather well and rinse well. Often it will clear up the flaking and calm the itching.
