You seem to be suffering from seborrheic dermatitis which is responsible for dry scaly skin inside ear canal as well as scalp. You may need to consult skin specialist as this condition primarily is a skin problem rather than a ear problem
Next Steps
Consult nearby Dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
