Beak Scaly Mites

Hello Dr. Rob., One of my Gloster corona canaries nearly got bald early this year and I treated him with S76, Then he started moulting in July and by the end of August he had his amazing crest all grown. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that area around the beak is losing the feathers so I don't know what it could be. I don't think it's scaly mites but I'm treating him again with S76. If its not mites could it be an iodide deficiency or maybe a fungus. What would be the treatment in case that he's got any of those.
