What Could Cause Dryness And Crust Formation In Ears After Using Polydexa Ear Drops For Eczema In Ears?
I Have been using Polydexa ear drops which initially cleared up the crusty eczema in my ear but not completely...I have had a couple of courses now. The ear dries and crusts over, itches ..I scratch and then it weeps??? I am worried that I may have used this Polydexa for too long. Also I have started suffering from intense anal itching and wonder if that also could be connected ?

Hello
I dont think you should be using polydexa drops for so long and it is likely that you have developed a fungal infection of the ear, which is causing the itching. please meet your ent doctor and stop using the drops, also please get your blood sugars tested!
Anal itching may not be related to this and maybe due to worms in your stomach.
Thanks
