You can’t see the mites, but something is going on in his ear... lots of brown which isn’t normal

Keep us posted

Looks like waxy build up in the ear which could make him want to scratch it. Have you cleaned his ears at all? I try to clean ears once a week and use Zymox.

Ear mites look like coffee grounds. This looks like the beginning of a bacterial infection.
Edit!
Aflter looking at the pics with a PC instead of my phone, I'm with Cbrugs, the ear just looks waxy and the little bumps DO look like irritation from scratching.
A good cleaning may be all that's needed.
Please let us know what the Vet says.
