Excema in ear canal - Allergies Message Board

MountainReader · 12-11-2006, 09:05 PM

I have had itchy ears for the last few weeks. I thought it was just because my allergies were acting up and there was fluid in my ears. I went to the doctor today and she diagnosed Excema in my ear canals. She said it was yet another condition that is probably caused by my allergies. She gave me a cream to put in my outer ear, but there isn't much I can do for it down in my ear canal. The constant itching is really bothersome. Does anyone out there have experience with this?

Yes, I have it. And my ears are itchy and wet inside all the time. Even if I haven't washed my hair for a couple days, the canals are wet. I know you're not supposed to put anything bigger than a finger in your ears but I have to itch mine with a q-tip (and dry them that way).

The only thing that seems to help me is those sulfur ear drops you get for an ear infection. And I get those a lot.
