Dry skin?

Bubbles my teddy guinea pig has some dry flakey skin on the back of her ear? I have 3 pigs, two abbys and bubbles the teddy when it started getting colder they all three got a little itchy so I started treating for mites just incase tomorrow is there 3rd dose. The heat in our apartment dries the air out alot so I'm thinking its just dry skin since the itching hasn't really changed and it never was bad just the occasional scratching themselves, oddly enough I almost never see bubbles actually scratch herself. There all three still eating/pooping/acting normal but today i noticed the dry flakey skin on the back of bubbles right ear, no dry spots on the other two.

I've read teddys have more trouble with dry skin then other breeds so I'm wondering if there is anything i can do to help her. I read some people supplement there teddys food with some sunflower seeds or oats to help with skin any suggestions?
