Without an exam and just to the naked eye does this look like demodectic mange?

I would be very suspicious of mange just looking at this. However to truly diagnose Demodex requires a deep skin scrape as this mite lives very deep in the hair follicles. It could also be due to ringworm as well as a bacterial skin infection.
