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 years.. finally saw a dermatologist - he gave me clobatesol ointment which I applied carefully with a qtip..  had to repeat once every week or two and now it is gone for good.. I am convinced it was psoriasis - thats why the clear fluid starts after itching.. hope this helps:)

RE Rash puzzle becoming clear by the Grace of God

-----------------------------
I  have been looking for answers for my rashes for 11 years. Thought perhaps it was related to Hypothyroidism since I was Dx about the same time.

Anyway all those years of suffering ...

I now strongly suspect Intertrigo is the problem with my ears as well as other skin fold rashes I have.

By way of update to my friend who suggested rose hip oil-- I tried rose hip but it did not help. My condition comes and goes but seems like it's been here for 5 months now (maybe it just feels like that long) -- Anyway I am considering Intertrigo with a genetic factor and taking P5P ( the active form of B6) to see if that helps. Someone also posted on Wedding Bee of all places that Cider Vinegar with drops of the Essential oil lavender had helped her with Intertrigo.

I'd been to many MD's (one Dx as candida rash- and that might be a factor), DO's Nutritionists, Metabolic Counselors, multiple Dermatologists (one Dx as Seborrheic Dermatitis) Endocrinologists, Chiropractors and Naturopathic doctors and holistic retreats for 11 years trying to get help. I've had tons of blood work and a very expensive Genova Diagnostics Cardio Ion test that included Organic Acids tests. I paid a lot of out of pocket fees was sold supplements, prescriptions and herbal tinctures etc resulting in little to no help.
And totally by the Grace of God I happened on this article
( http://www.naturalremedies.org/vitamin-b6/ )
about Vitamin B6 that listed Intertrigo ( which is a rash of the body folds) and when I looked up the pictures they match what mine look like. I am so very grateful to God but have to keep confessing the anger toward the Doctors and other practitioners who did not find this -- It took God who made me.
I know that God will now also lead me to help for this as well. I went back and reviewed the Organic Acids part of the Cardio Ion test and if I am reading it correctly it indicates low B6 really DL (less than Detectable Levels) of B6. Low B6 is shows multiple other things that suffer with.

Sorry to be repetitive but for more information ---Here are some notes I put in my health recap to my new doctor I am to see soon.
-Why do I have such problems with my ears?
Wax build up, swimmers ear and scaly to Wet/Dry skin behind my ears?
After suffering strange rashes for the past 11 years. I just began to research this today but believe it could very well be Intertrigo (rash of the body folds). Intertrigo is also a known symptom of vitamin B6 deficiency. I think the P5P form helps Intertrigo and also chronic inflammation, mild depression and SAD and high homocysteine which I have also suffered with. http://www.naturalremedies.org/vitamin-b6/http://allnutriments.blogspot.com/2015/04/vitamin-b6-deficiency-diseases.html and B6 can be depleted by many medications (oral contraceptives, hypertension drugs) and exposure to common toxins such as pesticides. Symptoms of B6 deficiency include neurological problems such as poor balance, fatigue and mental/emotional instability. Vitamin B6 status can be tested with the organic acid xanthurenate.

Hubby ( He has been on hypertension drugs 30+ years ) and I are both low B6 (DL which I think stands for below Detectable levels) per 7 9 15 Cardio Ion Tests.
So excited to have this possible Dx. with a new avenue to explore- I am amazed by God's grace.
