Answer
Alisha,
Your dog needs to see a vet.  Until you can get to one,  make a solution of white vinegar and water.  1/4 teasp of vinegar and 1 tablespoon water.  Take cotton ball and dip it in there and swab out the ears....Your dog still needs to see a vet...Black spots can also be cancer.  Also there are other things it could be,  mites cannot be seen with the naked eye, so it could still be mites.
