Why do my cat's chronic ear scabs only respond to steroid shots?

Cat has scabs forming on ear. 6 months on and off. Only steroid shots clear it no meds or ointments work. Blood work clear and fungus test clear. Any ideas? Seeing second opinion! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 12 years and 11 months old | 14 lbs

Hi. This looks pretty severe, and it sounds like you have done alot. This could be allergies, food sensitivities, immune mediated skin disease, or more. Since you have been battling this and not much is working, i would recommend seeing a veterinary dermatologist as your second opinion. this would be the most helpful
