It most likely is.. Dry and flaky skin in the ear canal can lead to itching and irritation.. U can use wax softner drops or even apply oil with an ear bud to make the skin less flaky

Hi. Yes, severe dandruff can be associated with itchy ears. However, that may not be the only reason for the itching in the ears. I would suggest that you see an ENT specialist and a dermatologist near you to initiate adequate treatment for both the conditions. Warm regards, Dr. Aanchal.
