The insides of my ears are constantly itching and it is driving me crazy. The doctors cannot find anything wrong with my ears however. Does anyone know of any remedies for this and what may be causing this? Drops for swimmer's ear do not work neither does cleaning my ears with q-tips.
Answer:
My ears itch when my allergies act up... if you have allergies, take an antihistamine (unless you have another medical condition that prevents it).
I also let the shower water run into my ear canals, the warmth and pressure help relieve the itch. However, this is not recommended if you have a history of swimmer's ear (external otitis), ear surgeries, or a perforated eardrum. I then vigorously use my towel to dry my outer ears.
MiraCell has a reputation of being very soothing for many ear issues... http://www.miracell.com/ear_care.html...
There is a warm air ear dryer, called the Sahara Dry Ear that is getting good reviews... http://www.dryear.net/
DO NOT USE COTTON SWABS (a.k.a. Q-Tips); not only do you risk pushing wax deeper into your ear or injuring your ear drum, you also cause tiny abrasions along the thin skin in the ear canal wall that contribute to the itch and inhibit the ears' self-cleaning mechanisms.
idk i had the same problem just tak ur mind off of it good luck hope it works.
stop itching and see wat happens
try letting shampoo run in your ears when you wash your hair, but dont leave it in and dont just put any in them... just kind of make it accedental
take a q-tip do not insert it all the way in but in enough to snug and very lightly wiggle it around
Maybe someone if thinking about you.
get waxol ear drops. It is probably a wax build up causing it.
You will not like this answer but it is the true one. As the other poster said and also an ear/nose/throat specialist told me, take your mind off it. Something is on your mind enough to have you itching your ears. The problem is, once you start, then you have aggravated the ear lining and it itches all the more! You have to remind yourself every time you start to go for the ear to stop! It is hard at first. Have your friends/family remind you. They can actually swell closed if there is too much trauma from itching. Wear socks on your hands at night until the itching is under control. When it is under control, you will not feel the wetness and itching anymore. Good Luck!
