2025-07-06 21:18:33
Hi sir, I have been itching in my ears for quite some time. 6 months ago I had otitis media. It got cured in one ear but sometimes it gets very itchy and in both ears. Sometimes it happens in one ear and sometimes in the other ear. Now when I have ear itching After itching there is little pain in ear . It gets cured for a few days. It keeps happening again. I am not able to understand what is happening. When it's itching I am using candid ear drops or one cream in my ear as doctor suggested but I don't know why this problem is happening.I am a consultant with an ENT doctor as well he is saying due to allergy or skin dryness but not yet cured. Please suggest
