  I’m not sure if you meant to post a picture or not. If your rabbit has some problem with the skin/fur on his ear, it sounds like he should see a vet. It could be fleas, mites or ringworm or something else, but you should have your rabbit checked out before the condition worsens. Hopefully it will be an easy fix with the right medication.

  Tobyluv is right. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and it will be easy to fix.

  You should get him to a vet. Has he had any type of injury to his ear? Like a bite-wound from another animal?
  You can upload your pic to an external source like photobucket or imgur and then paste the link here. That’s often the simplest way.

  That does sound very serious and calls for a vet visit right away.

  Look what I found in the uploads!
  
  Oh dear, that looks like ear mites to me. I’m not a vet, but I would say that definitely needs attention. A vet can prescribe Revolution or Ivermectin for it. Do not try to peel the scabs off, that would be very painful. And don’t use Frontline, it’s toxic to rabbits.
  
  There’s info on MediRabbit that might be helpful:
