Suggest Remedy For Dry And Flaky Skin Behind Ears

Hi the last few years my skin is becoming more sensitive in certain areas one being my ears which become itchy and flaky. I have been using a steroid cream which keeps it under control but the last few weeks I am hearing my heartbeat in my ears especially at night, could this be linked to the previous problem or should I see my GP? Thanks
