My hamster bites and scratches non-stop

My robo hamster, java is a girl. She is about 1 1/2 years old. About two months ago, she started scratching and biting her left back side by her leg. she lost hair and had a big red spot. We took her to the vet, got medicine, and the hair came back. Then she started scratching again, and I saw a mite fly out of her cage. I used an at home treatment but it didnt work. She is still scratching and biting and I feel so bad for her. I also feel like I am being bitten and itchy. What can I do to get rid of the mites?
