Luna's skin started to look like that because she actually developed a secondary staph infection. She get antibiotics that cleared it up pretty quickly.

Edited to add: I never found one flea on Luna while she was having this issue, though I did find one on my sofa.. They were on flea preventative, but of course it works by killing the fleas after they bite. You may not see a flea, but it could be what is going on.
Thank you! I really hope it's a simple flea allergy! I want to get another vets opinion before I head down to the dermatologist which will cost 3 times the amount. But if it comes down to it, I will be forced to. I think she does have an infection since it developed over time. Sigh! My poor girl, I hope she can get better.
