Hello, the dry flaky things could be the wax itself (the wax can be sticky type or flaky type). Or it could be inflammation of ear canal skin primarily in ear or spread from scalp if you have dandruff etc . For wax just waxsol drops will work if it doesn’t then please consult a dermatologist for treatment
Next Steps
Try waxsol failing which consult ENT specialist locally and dermatologist
Health Tips
1. Avaoid water into ear 2. Do not scratch with any pins, needles etc
