I have been suffering from itching in one of my ears for years but recently it has got really bad.  I have been prescribed various ear drops and steroid creams over the years which give temporary relief but it always returns. It has been diagnosed as eczema. Can anyone advise of treatment that helps.  I am at present using oil.

    Have you ever tried calamine lotion? It is generally well tolerated and reduces itchiness and inflammation of the skin.

    I have eczema around my mouth and am using calamine. It reduces redness and itchiness.

      Thanks for you advice and that is an interesting idea. I am aware that you have to be very careful what you put in your ears.
