Chihuahua with dry ear tips--?

I've got a chihuahua that is a little over a year old. Recently I noticed some dry, flaky skin on the top part of her ears. They aren't scabby at all and it doesn't seem to be affecting her inner ear at all. I recently changed her food so I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it. I tried putting coconut oil on them and it didn't really help so I have been using a tiny amount of my eucerin intensive repair hand creme on them and it seems to help at least momentarily. Any ideas???

    If you are bathing your dog more often than every 6-8 weeks, that could be causing this. I would use a little neosporin on them.

This has got here approximately to my Chihuahuas a pair situations, usually those with delicate epidermis like the blue ones.
