My cat has/had the same thing - hers was on her cheek and near her ears on both sides originally. The vet said ear mites - which in the end it wasn't when I went to a different vet. It was an allergy - she got cortisone tablets and put on a low allergy diet. One side is completely healed, the other has a tiny spot still getting there. It has taken months and months, simply because it's such an easy place to scratch.
The first vet got her in an elizabethan collar which she hated and had on for months - poor girl. As soon as it came off, she'd re open the scar again!
Good luck
