Suggest Treatment For Itchy Scabs On Ear

I had a problem last fall with a plugged ear. I finally used a rubber bulb filled with water to get the wax out. Then my ear canal out to part of my outer ear scabbed over. I thought this might be due to having used que tips/paroxide too much before getting my ear cleaned out. Scabs eventually started clearing only to be replaced by new scabs even though I am only cleaning it with the water bulb now. It's been 6 months now and it is still scabbed over. What would be good to put on this if anything. The scabs itch.

I am 60, 5'6", 155 pounds. I don't have much of a medical history...I have only had a few checkups in maybe the last 30 years. No problems other then needing glasses and need for more dental work done.
