Dryness causes itching in the ear just like dandruff causes itching in the scalp. So I suggest u put one drop of oil on ur index finger and apply till whr ur finger goes in ur ear.. Do that 2 3 days and check for any improvement. If no decrease is felt then visit a doctor and get ears examined and take prescribed treatment
