Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old
My cat has dry skin at the tips of both of her ears, she sleeps on a cat tree next to a radiator a lot of the time do you think this may have something to do with it. As apart from dry patches she is in perfect health, there are no fleas. She is also an indoor only cat.

The dry skin may be due to the dry air and heat in the house. As long as it isn't spreading, reddened or itchy then there is likely no cause for concern. Consider a humidifier and a fish oil supplement to promote healthy skin and coat. A dab of coconut oil on the ear tips may also provide relief.
