Looks like mites to me

Scabs from a scrape or cut?

Definitely not a scrape or cut. How would mites be treated?

it looks a bit like malasezia (sp). Its like a yeast infection (i think!) and you can treat it with malaseb shampoo which you'll need to get from your vet.

Looks like ringworm, a fungal infection - it's annoying but not harmful but can affect humans so wash your hands well and wash her bedding etc too

Vet said either a bacterial or fungal infection and has prescribed shampoo to treat. If not starting to clear after three weeks she'll take skin scrapings etc
