wax is a normal phenomenon. well unless it is causing discomfort it shouldn't be removed as it has antibacterial properties. it help in preventing infection to your ear . itching may b sometimes not because of this wax, go get checked up by a ent dr. don't try to remove by yourself you may end up injuring yourself.
