Two weeks without pruritus is excellent (regarding the Cytopoint), next time the effects may last up to a month, or more. There are no miracle cures.
Continue the Apoquel if you find that works best.

I bathe my allergy dog every other day, even though her allergies are under control.
However, I only need to use a mild gentle puppy shampoo, also, Malaseb about once a week.
Malaseb is better than Zymox, ask your vet. Entirely Pets dot com has some good prices on the Malaseb.
Get the 1/2 gallon jug and call it a day!
PS: I have found that keeping the hair trimmed short helps, well groomed, easier to spot sores and rashes. Give the dog a buzz cut about every 2 or 3 months. #5 blade for the body, #10 blade for legs/paws , careful around the face and ears, tail, behind.
If you can afford routine a routine groomer, even better.
However, you may want to avoid vaccines other than what is required by law, due to your dogs allergies.
