Hello,
Dandruff-like flakes in the ear may be caused by seborrheic
dermatitis, a dermatological condition that may be caused by stress, a yeast known as
malassezia, cold winter weather and, in some cases, from diseases like HIV and AIDS or Parkinson's disease.
Flaky, dry ears may also be caused by a
skin allergy from fragrances, shampoos, lotions or any other substances you use around your ears.
Avoid the allergen; don't allow touching the hair in this area. You can use
selenium sulphide or
ketoconazole shampoo locally before bathing. Then you can apply moisturizer.
If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
