On the tail immediately above the stinger and on her right claw are black patches. Are these mycosis? Here is another pic of her where it is visible

She has had these patches for a couple months now, but I only learned of mycosis recently so I figured I should probably check. I don't remember if she had the spots before her last molt.

Thanks

High possibility. Also on the pedipalp, between its hand and patella.

Any way I can know for sure or help make her healthier?

The only way I know to get rid of it for sure is by molting. Someone tried iodine tincture and worked while others reported useless. Anyway, if you are going to urge molting, you'd better hurry. The mycosis on joints may lead to crippledom.

Also, mycosis require moist environment. If you lower the humidity might contribute to the delay of its deterioration.
