Without examining Lucy, it is hard to determine the cause of the lesion on her ear. She may have ear mites, a bacterial or fungal infection, ear polyp, vasculitis, a mass, etc. Lucy should see her vet for an exam and any necessary diagnostics (such as ear cytology or biopsies) so that appropriate treatment can be started.
