What Could On And Off Splitting Skin Between Side Of Face And Earlobe At The Back Indicate?

My ear splits between the side of my face and lobe and on the very back of my ear where it meets my head as well. It has been there on just my right ear for years now. It goes away for a while and there s only a scar there but it comes back just like a split piece of skin.
