Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. This appears to be an allergic reaction but of course without examining him in person it is hard for me to say for sure. If he has bumps anywhere else on his body then you should take him to a vet now. If only the ear flaps are affected then you can give him one 25mg Benadryl (diphenhydramine) tablet every 12 hours for the next 48 hours to see if it helps. If not, take him to your vet. You can also get this product from your local Petco and just put it on the affected area of the ear flaps once a day. Call Petco first as many stores don't keep it in stock, only online.
