Trixie has been VERY itchy lately. And this week, while I was giving her a bath, I noticed some red bumps under her armpit and her hind legs. Tonight, all of a sudden I saw a big red spot on her neck, where she's been itching a lot. I'm using a vet recommended medicated shampoo on her for oily skin/coat and itchyness. But have been switching it out with a different brand medicated shampoo (Tropiclean Oatmeal shampoo), because the vet recommended one is so harsh on her coat. Could the new shampoo be causing this? Or could it be allergies? (I've been sneezing like crazy and we have been outside a lot)? The vet has tested her for mites recently and ruled that out... Any recommendations?

Oh, I forgot to mention that I did pull a tick off her last week. Could that have anything to do with this?
