The Siberian Husky is one of the top ten breeds affected by hereditary epilepsy. The most common age affected is between 6 months and 3 years of age. So it may well have been a seizure you saw.
You can read about seizures here
www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com
and the site discusses causes and treatments.
The skin issue may be from zinc deficiency

and using a fatty acid supplement with zinc such as Derm Caps with Zinc or Linatone with Zinc might help resolve this. But a prescription dosage might be best.
Hope this helps you!
