Can rosacea give you dry flaky skin behind the ears?

A few possibilities: Rosacea is less likely however there are a few other possibilities such as seborrheic dermatitis. It may be worthwhile to see your provider for definitive diagnosis and treatment.

I suffer from rosacea, keratosis pilaris (on entire body except face), dermatitis and very dry skin. My skin is very sensitive to sun and burns easily. I use spf 100 sun block but still look tanned. I cant help but think all these are related?
