How To Treat Dry, Itchy And Scaly Ears?
Hi I have been experiencing extreme amounts of dry itchy and scaly ears. I was told by an ear dr to use Clomitrazole BID but it has still continued to be a problem. The medication does help with a little of the itching but somethings got to give. Is there any other treatment advise you can give?? Any help would be greatly apprectiated

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to add a topical steroid to this. This would decrease the inflammation and the itching that you are experiencing.
A mild topical steroid, hydrocortisone , is available over the counter. If a stronger one is required, you would need to see your doctor for a prescription.
I hope this helps
