Gunky dirt in the ear almost always has mites... If you look closely, you can actually see them moving without a magnifying glass. One of my cats had them and it was pretty easy to see.

And the bald spot could be ringworm (fungus, not a worm). Don't touch him, it is highly contagious even for humans. I went to visit our uncle's cat, and it had ringworm.. we took great care in not touching anything, washed our hands after, and a week later me, my wife, and one of our cats all got it. It's itchy but easily treatable (if it doesn't spread too much)
