If he has ticks in his ears it would be best to take him to a vet. If you are inexperienced you risk damaging the ears trying to do anything yourself.

Also, I have never seen scales that have remained after a shed near the ears, a vet should be able to help you.

Without a picture it will be hard for anyone to give you any firm advice, other than taking the reptile to a vet to avoid any accidental injury you may cause trying to help, or any further damage the ticks may be causing.

Best of luck mate,

If the blue tongue has ticks in the ears it is common for the shed skin to accumulate and form almost a 'plug' of dead skin in the ears. Just grab a pair of tweezers and pull it out.
