@comfort Hello, it seems like Seborrheic dermatitis or dry ears. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition. It causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp, face, or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin. Dry skin in and around your ears may be caused by your environment, hot or cold weather. Your symptoms should improve after you restore moisture to your skin and make simple lifestyle changes. Please take the dermatologist's advice. Thanks!
