There are many potential causes for crusts on her skin, including bacterial or fungal infection, fleas, mites, and allergies. Allergies could be to fleas, food, or the environment. Stress can also cause some changes in skin! You can try a cleansing shampoo like Dechra TrizChlor 4 Shampoo, but if it doesn't respond in a few days, she may need to go to the vet for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
