I really think you should get a vet to check them both . This ensures a correct diagnosis and, the correct dosage of treatment.
 
I would ask the vet about fungal as that looks more fungal to me, though the symptoms of mites and fungal can look similar. Does the hair come out easily if you pull it gently?
 
I agree they need to see a vet, does look more fungal but you need a diagnosis before treating.

I agree that the best thing to do is to to get a proper diagnosis from the vet and the correct treatment at the correct dosage. OTC medications are seldom the correct strength to deal with a problem properly in my experience. And that does look like it might be fungal. So please take precautions when handling her. Poor thing.
