Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian. The itching is quite serious if your dog is self-mutilating. Golden Retrievers are very prone to allergies. The three most common are flea, food, and environmental. The location your dog is itching is most common with flea allergies. Even 1 flea that may no longer be present can lead to a severe reaction depending upon the severity of a dog's allergies.
Also once they are pulling fur out and the skin is damaged yeast and bacteria invade leading to pyoderma (superficial skin infection). Mite populations can also overpopulate in these circumstances. The skin will not heal until secondary infections are under control.
Do not use peroxide on your dog's skin. This has no anti-itching power and is very harsh on skin tissue--it usually does more harm than good. We do not use peroxide to clean wounds.
Other diseases like hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease can lead to dermal issue and itching.
Your veterinarian will help diagnose the cause and prescribe appropriate treatments.
