What Causes Rash On The Top Of The Ear?

My one year old has a rash in the crease at he top of his ear, between his ear and head. He has had it for 4-5 months now. It gets a little better with a salve then comes back. He has only been breast fed/ no formula. He eats a variety of meats, cooked vegies, and fruit, (no grains) His bowels movements and urine are good and regular. The rash is a little red and cracks, he grabs at his ears alot because it seems to bother him. (Itches I'm guessing). He also tries to scratch in his ear sometimes.
