Dry skin on ears

[kimberlie]

Fudge has got some dry skin on one of his ears. Its appeared quite suddenly. Is there anything i can put on it that will make it less dry.

I know that dryness can be a sign of mites, however he has just literally recieved mite treatment because Snickers who he lives with had mites.
I know it can also be a sign of an ear infection or bacterial infection? But the inside of his ear is completely normal.

Anyone suggest what else this could be and anything that i can use to help.
Thanks

I would either suspect dry skin (in which case a bit of aloe vera might do the trick) or fungus.

Delilah has dry ears and Chrissie at GG recommended the super souffle cream. It does the trick. I only got the trial size and it's lasted weeks so far and is still nearly full.
