Has she been treated for the mites? If not, a topical spot product like Revolution will easily do the job. You can get some through your vet. For her skin, I would use a conditioner after shampooing, but allow it to remain on her skin for a minute or two before rinsing it off. If the conditioner contains coconut oil extract and/or chamomile, both are skin soothing and promotr healing.

Be sure to use products formulated for dogs, as things like eucalyptus and tea tree oil can be toxic if too strong.
