Terriers are prone to itchy skin, in particular when the seasons change. I would check out her diet firstly, consider putting her on Science Diet for Itchy Skin (that's what my Jimbo has) with some boiled chicken for a week or two, slowly re-introduce other foods and see if this makes the itching worse. Every 3 days (no more!) a bath with Aloveen Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner, then less frequently to once a week. This should help a little at least. If not, take a trip to the vet to have a chat.
