Frequently when you remove a tick, the head remains embedded in the skin. Your friend needs to have a vet cut it out so it can heal properly.

I find that indoor dogs suffer from skin problems far more often than outdoor ones. ( the reasons for this may just be that the outdoor dogs are not being seen scratching as often) Have you had the carpets cleaned recently? new cleaning products on your kitchen/bathroom floor? Have you recently changed her diet? rule out the obvious first and if there are still issues after going through the list of things that may be causing it (taking a week or two between changing each one) then I would suggest going to the vet for a cortisone shot and seeing if it improves. If it does then there are things your vet will suggest that you can give your dog to help. If not there may be another thing going on. There are lots of parasites other than fleas and ticks that are not visible to the naked eye. (lice, mange, etc etc) Even internal parasites such as worms can cause itching. A lot of times all it takes is One flea bite even if the fleas are not present on your dog all they have to do is come in on your shoe jump on your dog bite it and hop away and your dog will break out itching like crazy. Flea allergies are terrible. definitely try these things and I wish you tons of luck.
