Does anyone suffer from itchy ears?

I do and I dont know what to do about it anymore! They are so itchy I stick a pen cap in there to help relieve it! (Prob not good!) I think it is allergy related but I need some relief!

Anyway my aunt said I should get some over the counter stuff at the drug store....someone else said to try neosporin. Not sure but if you know a cure...please tell me!

Jen, Unfortunately I do not havea cure, but TOTALLY know what you are saying. I walk around with Qtips almost everywhere b/c when they are really itchy I can't concentrate on anything else.

BTW..yes the pen cap, not a good idea at all. I made my ear bleed once by doing that. OUCH

Yes I know a pen cap is no good but I am not sure what else I can do!

LOL! I was thinking about this just this morning! It comes and goes with me . . . I have very dry skin so I think that could have something to do with it.

But, what I was actually thinking, as I was Q-tipping away, does anyone elses throat itch when they're pokin' around in their ear?

OMG PROMISE ME YOU WILL NEVER SCRATCH WITH A PEN CAP AGAIN!

Sorry about the outburst but Ive always had itchy ears and a few years ago I used a pen cap to scratch my left ear and I ended up with tinnitus. I dont know if thats what ultimately caused it but right after I scratched, my ear felt like it popped and the ringing started and never stopped. DO yourself a favor and dont ever use the pen cap again. I hate living with this!

Youre not supposed to stick anything in your ears. Even Q-tips.

I'm an Audiologist. I would recommend something called Eargene. Its supposed to be for hearing aid users but it's a lotion that relieves itchy ears.

Girls, you can actually get fungus growth in your ears that will cause itchiness. I get itchy ears too, sometimes. Mary MOB
