I’m afraid I’d be simply guessing as I don’t know anything about your piggy, how old he is or where he has come from. But those look like they have been rather well nibbled ears to me (as if he’s been a bit bullied). I’ve no idea how long you’ve had him, or when these appeared. But crusty edges could be scabs from injuries or be fungal (ringworm) which is transmissible to humans. Either way it’s not normal, so the best advice is to get him seen by a vet.
In the meantime I will link our ringworm guide as if it’s ringworm you will need to take preventative steps to prevent transmission to humans Ringworm: Hygiene And Pictures

Hi, I agree with the above advice, a vet visit is needed in case it is fungal.
Also, I wondered, are you a bts fan? Going by your username.
