I have a 6 year old shelter dog who is generally fearful and anxious with people who are not me, but happy with dogs around her size. She has allergies to loads of stuff, and we've successfully cut all food allergens we know of and do our best to avoid the environmental ones. She was an itchy little thing but it got mostly better. She doesn't scratch til she bleeds or wake me up with how severely she's itching. Still probably more itchy than the average dog, but much better. However, she seems to get crazy itchy when she's excited. If we play or it's time for food/walks and she gets hyped up, she's going to stop to gnaw a bit on her legs, or scratch herself a bunch. I feel a little bad for her but I have no idea how to even begin doing anything about it, or if it's even necessary. It's not like she ends up with scratches and scabs like she used to, it just seems uncomfortable and like it's linked to her level of excitement.

Yeah I was thinking it's something more psychological than actually being allergic to excitement. Is there anything I can do to help her with something like that? Again it's not serious, making herself bleed kind of itching. But if there's a way to help her I'd certainly like to. Or is it just not a detrimental enough behavior to worry over?
