Hi Sandra,
I'd be surprised if a young dog with his disease largely "on the outside," i.e. itchy skin, is incurable with carefully prescribed homeopathy. Though some of these guys are very tough, especially if there are no distinguishing symptoms beside "I itch!"
I have lost a case or two to allopathic medicine after trying diligently for a long while, but they were more the exception. Sometimes, if I was struggling to "see" a case clearly enough to find remedies that helped, I'd refer it to another homeopath for a fresh set of eyes and a different mind.
The key is that you're dealing with chronic disease, and that's best done with professional help. It'd be rare to get them all the way to cure with supplements or diet alone.
Best of luck with this guy. "Young" and "itching" makes me think there's hope for him
