It's vet time! Oh the joys!
That doesn't sound nice, poor mite!
Fungal or ear mites might be another possibility. Is it inside or on the outside?

It's flakey and white on the outside and inside... :/ I agree, it doesn't sound or look nice

It sounds like fungal to me Lexy. Mites possibly, but I would initially suspect fungal. There's some pics at the following link that might help identification:

I second Laura, i used the product from there daily on Kenya's ear and it went away quite quickly 
most pigs get them.

hey laura thanks for the info. The vet gave me a course of ivermectin, suspecting mites. We're going to rule that out too, but he has been popcorning around all morning x
