My dog has a random wound/red spits in the inside of his ear and i was wondering what it is? It doesnt look like ear mites and it doesnt look like a normal cut or scratch

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know for sure what you are referring to without being able to look at him or the lesion. I would highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. They would be able to start with an exam and proceed with diagnostics as needed. Best of luck!
