Best Answer

Mastoid Skin

The bone in that area is called the Mastoid, which is actually part of a bigger bone called the Temporal bone, which in turn is part of the skull. I read an article on a grafting of skin from that area and that's how I learned that it was just named after the bone there.

"If the defect extends only to the helical rim, the flap can be started at the junction where mastoid skin meets the posterior ear."
