hello,
Thank you for your query.
That small scab you see in your is probably just ear wax which is a normal secretion of the ear skin. unless you have pain or block in your ear there should be no reason for you to be concerned or the need to meet a Dr.
Hope this reassures you.
Regards
Dr Divya Upadhya
