To relieve dog itch add about 1 Table Spoon of Epsom Salts to 6 cups of water. I never measured exactly but that is approximately the amount I have used. Apply over the affected area.

In response to your question - So you don't rinse off the ebsom salts?
I prefer to just leave the Epsom Salt solution on the dog. One thing to note is that Epsom Salts is a laxative so if the dog licks this a lot it could potentially cause a problem. However, It has never caused any problem for my dogs (the amount of residual Epsom Salts left on the dog is probably very small). If you prefer, you can rinse off the Epsom Salts. It seems like it works better if you can just leave it on. Please remember, that dry skin is a big contributor to dog itch so don’t over-clean your dog Additionally, one could use plain table salt instead of Epsom Salt.
