Flakey Ears

Question
I have a mini grey haired lop who is only 5 months old.  I have recently noticed that beneath his hair on his ears he has very flakey skin.  Can you advise what this might be and whhat we should do?

Thanks

Answer
It could be dry skin, or it could be something else.  You could check out http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#skin to see if anything might match what you are seeing.

If it is inside rather than outside, then check http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#ear
