You might want to have your Veterinarian take a look at it. Ears are a common area for cats to get ringworm. Ear mites and fleas will cause a cat to scratch at their ears, and cause bald spots from their claws pulling the hair out.

Easy things to treat, but you first have to identify the exact problem.
