Hi,
From your history it seems that you might be having some chronic infection on your scalp like dandruff or dermatitis giving rise to scaly rash behind ear or base of skull due to falling of infected particles.
Consult dermatologist and get examined.
After diagnosis he will go for treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
