Could this be ear mites?

My Cat has developed a dry, white flaky area next to his left ear. He also has a small sore on the edge of his ear lobe.

Any idea what this could be?

I have looked inside his ear & there is some dark waxy substance. Could this be ear mites & would this cause the dry patch too?
