The seasonality of your dog's problem suggests environmental allergies.  Allergies cause itching and secondary dermal complications.  The sores are irritated and possibly infected skin.  Dogs will continue to itch causing themselves trauma.  Dermal parasites like fleas, ringworm, and mites can also cause itching and sores.
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian.  Allergy treatment includes treating secondary infections, anti-histamines, bathing with medicated shampoo, omega-3 fatty acids, preventing self-trauma, and if severe enough steroids, allergy shots, and immune modulating medication.  Allergies are treated both topically and orally.
Your veterinarian will help treat your dog's sores and make her feel more comfortable.
