What Causes Tingling And Itching Sensation On Ear?

My husband has a tingling, itching sensation on the outside of one ear near the top in one of the folds.There is no visible redness or marks. He hasnt changed meds or started doing anything new. He is almost 53 wth family history of heart disease and skin cancer. Could this be stress related as well?

Hello

Yes it is possible that it may be stress related , but considering the family history of skin cancer , i think it would be wise to meet a doctor , to have a look at the site , so that we dont miss something more dangerous. Please meet your doctor.

Thanks
