Severe Itching in outer ear

My wife has sever itching in both outer er canal ears. There no wax or nay kind of discharge from the ears. We have shown to an ENT doctor and the ears appear to be clean. She has used OTIC drops prescribed by doctor but itching persists and as a result ear bud or finger need to used frequently to ease the pain and itch. Ear appears to be dry as tiny white dots are seen with occasional flake.

thats how it starts, soon you will be woken at night with your pillow covered in yellow spots, maybe one night redness. This has been my experience for about twelve months now. No end in sight.
