Endlessly itchy wet ears

[SimplyMe2007]

Since I was a child I have had ear problems but over the past few years I have had increasingly maddening ear problems.  I have used drops and anti biotics.  I sense relief then the symptoms return.  Most days I can hear but am constantly aware that my ears are itchy.  The challenge is to not itch.  If I itch, I usually get flaky stuff that I literally can lift off my inner ear.If I itch too much it becomes wet and begins draining a wet clear fluid.  Then at night, whatever side I lay on clogs shut.  In the morning there is thick crusty crud that again I try not to pick at.  Im obviously in continual circle of symptoms here.  Dr's seem to think I cause this problem by itching which causes infection which causes itchiness. HELP please?  I am open to homeopathic suggestions as mainstream medicine just seems to temporarily relieve the symptoms and not cure the cause.  Thanks in advance

I had the same problem for 20+ years! I did tried so many stuff... while following so many years this thread... many hundred posts... many things to try/ did many...but all unsuccess ( or only few hours/days release...)
So many doctors/ENT doc/dermato... so many different diagnosis lie most time diagn.eczem... so,again, all unsuccess...
Finally I came back here/register, to post my way, even if last post is old...
So, last/final: my dermatologist advise me plant phyto treatment oplantamednaturo ( or oplantamednatura ...forgot / a natural stuff from drugstore) for a few days.  About a week after was almost all gone.
I could not believe... after so many years... so I waited few month ( since July 2020... so now 6 months )... still good / now it's all gone for good. This plant worked great for me. So happy to get back to nornal life.
Hope this helps :)  Good luck :)

For me- cure is:
Itchy ear - use coconut oil and wet ear stop eating so much wheat.

Coconut oil -has been amazing for the itching and if I ever get an ear infection. I put some in and some behind and works within the day.

I had wet ears a lot, in and behind and worked out it was a lot worse when I drank beer, ate bread etc. Cut down and it was gone, only to return if I over do the beers.

Hope this helps someone as it was driving me insane!!

I have exactly the same thing and it drives me insane - water and infection deep in the ear canal, itching, dry flaky skin which I can't stop scratching and wet lumps of skin all exacerbated and relieved by Otosporin steroid spray.  I had measles at birth and have hyperhydrosis.  I was told the ears were watery with bad water balance.  I get reiki for ME but it has never helped my ears.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  It's very painful at times and I get very worn down with it.

I have had an itchy/fluid left ear at night for a few months now.

Facts:
- I am 52 year old Female
- I have a dog
- Itchy/clear fluid in left ear
- I have IBS/GI problems - had Gallbladder removed
- I have tried taking Vitamin D/probiotic-not sure if different
- I sometimes take a multivitamin
- Tried swabbing peroxide 1x - stung a little
- I purchased Zymox but haven't tried it
- Noticed symptoms several times from a beer? the night before
- Diet: dairy, soy, gluten, sugar, beer, soda?

I recently went to the ENT who said my ear was clean/clear with no wax nor infection. He suggested only wiping it with a rolled tissue (no Q-Tips) and rubbing some moisturizing face cream just inside my ear via my fingertip after my shower. I am not convinced this is the permanent answer. I will continue to try/track with  various options above.

I had the same problem and like most of you, the doctors said there was nothing wrong. I was desperate. I tried using a steroid salve I had from a different problem. The itching stopped within a couple of hours and after applying for two weeks, my ears are symptom free. Good luck.
