Crusty Dog

Last year about this time my dog developed really dry skin and it started to fall off like dandruf. I noticed him itching again this past week and now I see a spot on his head that is snowing. It's a quarter size patch of dander flaking off in large chunks. This time last year this happened on his eye lids and face. I don't want it to get that out of control again, though he was treated for yeast last time, right now his ears are clean inside but the skin inside is flaking off at close inspection. Is this seasonal allergies or...? Last year it was a long drawn out 2 trips to the vet deal. He ended up with a staph issue after the yeast cleared up. Any ideas what it could be or how to deal from anyone with similar issues? His skin has been fine all year since we cleared it up last winter.

Dog is now 2, eats Orijen and Raw so I doubt it's the diet. Do dogs get seasonal allergies and if so do they present like this? My other dogs get weepy eyes and sneeze but his eyes are clear, no nasal discharge, just dry itchy skin.
