You might be suffering from chronic otitis externa which is dermatitis like seborrheic dermatitis. Chronic itching is common presentation. You need to apply steroid antifungal creams inside the canal for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
