Answer
There are many causes of itching and the most common one is allergies. If there is crusty stuff on her skin this is most likely a secondary bacterial infection from her rubbing and breaking the skin. Let your vet look at her to see exactly what is going on so she can get some relief from the itching. That may require a steroid shot and some tablets.
