Extreemly Itchy ears.....

[roxjoycas]

I have had itchy, flaking, draining ears ever since swimming in a pool down at DisneyLand 25 years ago.  I would use the prescription antibiotics drops, which would relieve the problem for a little while, but then the whole thing would start over again.  Recently I have used two new product that seem to be the answer.  Don't laugh but there is a non-prescription otic solution used on dogs with the same types of symptons called ZYMOX with hydrocortisone (Amazon.com). The hydrocortisone relieves the itching and other ingredients (including enzymes) help to kill the bacteria and yeast infections.  The other thing I use in combination is Eucerim AQUAPHOR Healing Ointment (Walmart).  This is a petrolatum skin protectant which help with the flaking and heals the skin.  I have been using both for the past month and everything has cleared up!!!   Yeah....   Both items together cost about $20.  It's the best $$ I've ever spent.......

Just a quick note to say hi! and that after googling about my own ears, i ordered zymox. got it today and already feel the itch is 50% less. i have such high hopes for this because ive had excema in my ear for about 10years now...so yes will try anything. but in my research found it contains lactoferrin, which is an anti fungal (gets rid of infection in ear), anti bacterial (gets rid of bacteria that fungal infection feeds off, anti viral (gets rid of internal virus that causes this cycle) and anti inflammatory (gets rid of itch and swelling). its available as a suppliment so im going to try that just for improving my health! just thoght you may be interested. i'll keep you up to date with how i go with zymox.fingers crossed.

Well the last time I posted was August 30, 2008.  That's when I had been using the ZYMOX and AQUAPHOR for about a month.  Now it's November 29, 2009 and guess what.....  It is still WORKING!!!!!!!   I no longer have the severe symptons of crusty, itching, wet, weeping ears that use to drive me CRAZY!!  Once in a while I will start to feel a bit of itching coming on and just treat with these two OTC items for a day or two and then it's gone.   If you are suffering from this don't wait any longer.  It has worked for many on this website.
