She may have a fungal infection or different mite infection. Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. This may require skin scrapings, fungal cultures and/or ear cytology. Skin scrapes and ear cytology can be performed in the clinic. A sample for fungal culture will need to be sent out to a veterinary reference laboratory. Once results are returned, the appropriate treatment can be administered.
