Those are scaly leg mites. They are different than body mites, in that you need to coat the legs and feet with a thick oil 2-3 times per week to smother the leg mites. Vaseline, castor oil, mineral oil, Nustock cream which contains sulfur powder, and Vicks Vaporub which has menthol and camphor, are good choices. Initially, it can be good to soak the legs for 20 minutes in warm Epsom salts and mildly rub them with an old toothbrush or rag to loose the scales.

Ivermectin which can treat body mites will probably not be effective. The ones I have seen with leg mites usually are not dust bathing, and may be having other leg problems or arthritis.
