One of my chins has some lighter gray areas on his outer ears, mainly on/near the edge. Is this a sign of dryness? I've been applying bag balm to his ears every other day or so, and I'm waiting to see any improvements. He also has a small pinkish red area at the base of the back of his ear (near his head) on each ear. It feels a little rough, so I apply some balm on that area too. It seems to be furless. I'd like to avoid any vet visits because he's already gone this month, but I will do it if it's absolutely needed. Also, but a lot more minor, both of my chins have a little dirt on the inside of their ears, but not deep into the canal/near it. The chin with the dry ears also has balm residue on the fur on his head near his ears. (He's very squirmish so getting the balm on is quite difficult. ._.) What could I do about these issues?
