Gidday I Have Itchy And Scaly Ear Problems. Can You
Gidday
I have itchy and scaly ear problems. Can you help? It was originally glue ear. That was cleared up but I still get it but not to a bad degree. However, the itchy, scaly problem is annoying. I have used a cortisone cream which did not help so I just used a moisturizing cream to keep the inside of the ear lobes moist. Still have the problem though. I try to keep my ears dry by wearing a shower cap and plug my ears when not using a cap. I like to swim as well. It is not easy to keep ears plugged when swimming. I just shake my head to the side to try to get water out of both ears after swimming plus give them a good dry. Are you able to advise?
Thanks.
