Possible ringworm??

Hello everyone! Long time lurker of this site, first time poster. Recently I just rescued a kitten who sadly had to have one of her back legs amputated due to a very bad break when I first found her. I’ve been taking her to the vet pretty much every 2 to 3 weeks since then (mostly check ups and vaccines) and recently I just noticed a dry scaly patch on the bottom edge of her ear. It’s on her side where she doesn’t have a leg so I’m wondering if it’s just weird buildup since she’s not really able to groom herself properly on that side or possibly ringworm. I should emphasize that’s it’s really on that one spot and I haven’t found any other spots.

This is when I first found it on Thursday and the next picture is from today.

In person, it doesn’t seem to be spreading but connecting instead if that makes sense? She has another vet appointment on Tuesday so I’m definitely going to bring it up then.

hmmm. It doesn't really look like ringworm to me, but think it'll be good to have the Vet take a peak at it.
