My inner ear itches severely and when it's unbearable I scratch it. Sometimes with fingers or cotton swabs. And then it gets wounded and as it dries, it itches more. It had caused infections in the past, which got treated. It was okay for a while and it began to itch again. How can I stop this vicious ear itch cyle. It is very inconvenient for me and often leads to more problems. Is there any ear drops available? Right now, I don't have any infections or wounds or bleeding. It's just the itchiness. I'm not using cotton swabs now, I stopped using it when my ear got infected in the past.
