Advice sought to alleviate Golden Retriever's skin allergies! vets in Japan have been NO help!?

My poor Golden has terrible allergies and he suffers, is there any ointment or herbal baths that can be recommended? Baking soda? WHat can I do to alleviate his suffering?
Answers:
1. Have you changed dog foods? I learned from friends %26 brother that corn (major dog food ingredient) causes bloating and allergies, digestive problems. My brother's Lab stopped having seizures after they put him on lamb %26 rice (no corn) diet.
I know this isn't your dogs' symptom, but my point is Allergy, and whether dog tolerates the food.
2. Salmon oil. Available in capsules in some health food stores, or get online at jefferspet.com (search under dogs).
The pet one comes in liquid, and price is reasonable.
This REALLY helped a rescued dog heal her skin, fur, eyes! The company claims it clears up skin conditions when other oils %26 supplements don't.
3. don't know if you are doing this, but use oatmeal baths or try the Aveeno brand liquid soap. There are also many shampoos and medications for dog skin on the Web site i listed above, for skin conditions.
apples
I use NEEM shampoo; a natural herbicide etc
what the hell does apples mean? srry, sbout ur dogs allergies, i dont think there is anything i can do u help u. but i hope the website below helps!=)
try to find a natural food... read labels... as for the itchys... i use and oatmeal bath. make sure it gets up under the fur... do it once and see if it helps..
some animals are sensetive to oatmeal as well, wo just be careful..
