Itchiness in the ears

Question

Asked for Female, 57 Years

I experience itchiness in both my ears and scaly inner walls that can be felt on itching. Soon after rubbing my ears it gets blocked for some time due to some watery discharge. There's no hearing problem otherwise. Please advise a remedy.
