My ears are very itchy?

Question

Hello, I have very itchy ears on the inside. I have tried putting drops of mineral oil on them but it keeps on stinging. I use cotton swabs to "scratch" because it's so itchy but it keeps coming back. What can I do about it?

Good morning, ma'am, First of all, you should absolutely avoid scratching the area, and especially inserting anything in the ear, because this can perpetuate the itching and even slow down the healing process The best first-line treatment remains the application of oil (mineral, olive, baby, etc.) 2 to 3 times a day If, however, the situation persists or worsens, a doctor should be consulted to rule out other causes, and not to delay the proper treatment, if necessary.
