What Causes Itchiness Of Ear And Eye?

I have my right eye that often is itchy in the corner closer to my nose. My eye does water at times too. as do both of my eyes. And also have had a very itchy right ear as well often. Years ago I did have an infection in my right eye that lasted for weeks. I simply let it do its time with out any treatment except steam from warm water.

I realize I am talking about two symptoms, but maybe they are connected. thank you for your response.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The itching of the eye may be due to the allergic conjunctivitis,or viral conjunctivitis. both are self limiting, and may be cured by own.
chronic bacterial infection may be itchy, but it may require the treatment.
The itching of the ear may be due to the allergy, hence you may find the relation ship.
I advise you to consult an ophthalmic surgeon for diagnosis.
