What Causes Itching In Ear With Buggy Feeling In Ear Canal?

My right ear is very itchy and has been for some time. Further down in the ear canal I feel like there is a bug in my ear, a little tiny prickly feeling like a bug moving around. I went to my doctor and she said the ear look clear and gave me an ointment for the itch. It helped some. I had my daughter do my ears by candling and it felt a little better, got a little wax out but not much. Still itchy and buggy.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some wax collection or having some fungal infection giving rise these symptoms.
Clean ear with cotton buds and put anti-fungal drops for few days.
take care of not going water intothe ear while taking shower.
After shower clean ears with cotton bud.
Ok and take care.
