I have been experiencing peeling inside my ear on the cartliage, does anyone have any idea what this problem can be? I put good moisturizer on it and it doesn't do much good. Sometimes it even bleeds a little when I peel it, but I can't help it because it drives me crazy! Just curious what you think before I call the dermatologist.

I get this too but only in the very beginning of winter, if you live in an area where the air is really dry that is probably what is causing it.
Mine only lasted a few weeks so i didn't bother seeing a dermatologist. But if you find yours especially irritating or prolonged i think that you should go, and you should go if you don't think it is that air causing it to be dry.
Try not too pick at it too much, then it wont bleed, and you could always try to put Vaseline on it at night to help moisturize it a little more while you sleep.
good luck to you!

Ear fungus. Really. Try some tea tree oil for a few days.
