First of all most mites cannot be seen with the naked eye or even with a magnifying glass as they are too small and too deep in the skin. from the picture it is impossible to know what might be causing these, it could be mites, fleas, allergies or fungal infection, in order to find out a skin test needs to be done by your vet.
