Is she constantly itching? If so I'd take her in to get a test for mites possibly? My vet said scratching could be dry skin too & to try children's liquid Benadryl? I never did tho & it turned out that my rescue hammie just had a OCD problem for a couple weeks due to the stressful living conditions he was enduring, but it went away.

Vet said to check for mites if the hamster is scratching constantly. Hope this helps?

There could be other reasons like allergies too?
