How did CZcams know to recommend this to me? Exactly what I needed to know, without searching!
They're always listening...
Coconut oil. What a revelation! So much better than anything else I've tried or been prescribed. Such relief!
Coconut oil is also a great antifungal, too.
I've had this condition on and off for most of my life. I find it is also related to diet.Since it is often a kind of yeast infection, and yeast love sugar, lowering you carb intake can help improve the condition, potentially to the point where the oils and medicines can largely cure it. However, if you go back to eating a lot of carbs again, it will return.
I had terrible itching in my ears and went to the doctor and a ear specialist, which both didn't come up with something to help solve the problem. I was so desperate I smeared Tiger Balm in the ears, and that made the itching go away .... for a while ....until it came back. Then finally I found the reason for the itching: It was the faux leather pads on my Audio Technica home studio headphones, which also began to disintegrate into flakes. Presumably I reacted to some chemical compound used on it. After that I got headphones with velour padding, and the problem is gone.
I had that itchiness and huge amount of flaking skin for decades and thought I tried everything OTC. Finally, I made and applied a tincture of bittersweet nightshade, everyday for a couple of weeks. Cleared up my ear problem. It's been about a year and the itchiness has not returned. I know tinctures are frowned upon, but it worked, so I don't care about the frowning.
I have suffered from this condition for about 20 years now - I've tried everything under the sun - including some of the mentioned products. For the last year I've used Vitamin E oil which is giving me loads of relief.
My dermatologist told me it was my fault my ears were itchy because I scratch. Instead of listening to me for the reason I was scratching and prescribing a medication. Time for a new dermatologist.
I hope this helped give you some new ideas.
I just found this today, March 26, 2023, I can’t believe this video randomly appeared on my CZcams feed. I thought I was the only person who had death I thought I was losing my mind with the itching in my ear, taking tweezers, and pulling out the little hairs in my ears so that I didn’t lose my mind constantly putting witch hazel on a Q-tip to soothe and saturate my ears, 💁🏼♀️because Dickinsons Witch Hazel helps to keep my psoriasis at bay.
Now I’m going to see if I can find out what shampoo Dr Bailey suggested.
I’d like to find some thing that’s nice to my scalp before I’m completely bald headed . Shampoo that doesn’t irritate my scalp or my back or my hands or my feet has been my biggest challenge for the last 45 years.
Thank you so much for putting out this video. I am going to have a great rest of my day because now I know I’m not crazy. This does happen to other people and there may be some relief. Thank you so much Dr. Bailey.
I'm in the same boat. Itchy ears have driven me crazy for years, and then, today, CZcams served this up.
Psoriasis can be treated systemically with injections,it can effect your skin, joints,even your gums. Find someone who will treat all of you!
@@tamarie1189 yes, I am sensitive to propylene glycol too. So annoying that it is in so many products, including some TP and oral medications! Now that I know this, at least I no longer waste money buying toiletries that have this and cause irritation.
Trixie Belden books were my absolute favorite growing up. I had a nice hardcover set that was passed down to me and they were ruined in a flood.
A Chinese lady taught me to make "shampoo" by stirring boiling water or boiling vinegar into a handful of flour (any kind of fine flour, wheat or use a non gluten plant) till it's thin and runny like Elmer's glue. Let it cool. Use on wet hair just like shampoo. It won't foam, of course. Rinse well, and maybe use some vinegar in water to rinse, then rinse with clear water. You can add raw manuka honey if want, to the shampoo, some find it soothing. Any way, this works as good as store bought shampoo. I usually do an oil treatment the night before I shampoo, and don't need conditioner after washing my hair.
I’ve had this problem for a couple of years now. The itching seems worse after I go to bed at night. Not only do they itch, but it feels like something is slowly oozing or crawling in my ear, but nothing ever comes out. I do have dry skin scales come out of my ears on my finger. My dermatologist prescribed Desonide .05. I have done three different sets of applications but it doesn’t seem to ever entirely go away. The itching is so intense sometimes I wish I could stick one of those round wire brushes in my ear and scratch to relieve it. So annoying.
Yes! Same and I also am perplexed how this showed up in my feed! I need help
Have all these itchy symptoms around my ears, seen my doctor, got antibiotic medication, but the itchy crusting doesn't go away. Going to try your recommendations.
Thank you.
Make sure you also take any supplements you might need. I found b12 helpful for my nerves and magnesium before I figured out it was fungal and got canestan ...doctors never helped at all. But the ringing and insane maddening itching was helped a lot bú the supplements i think they just calmed my nerves.
I was glad to stumble across your video. My D.O. prescribed an oily antibiotic drop for what he diagnosed as seborrheic dermatitus. It didn't help. So I made a slurry of a couple drops of Denorex shampoo with a half teaspoon of water.. Then with 2 Q-tips I filled my ears with that foamy mix, and massaged it in from the outside. I let it set in there to dry. My ears were blue inside, but that washed out with water and Q-tips over a couple days. This worked perfectly for me. And I've had no recurrence. Thanks for your help. I hope this also helps you.
Great information and a positive share. Thanks for the post!!
Just brilliant! THANK YOU.
This was so helpful. Thank you so much!
No doctor has been able to help, until you. 20 years of this! Thank you!!!
Excellent advice. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your advice!
I’ve had this problem probably since I was a teenager that’s more than 20 years. I’ve been told several things about why my ear is itching But never this explanation. Thank you so much for making this video.
Omg, I have scaly skin behind my ears, glad I'm not alone with this!
Totally!! We all do unless we give that part of the body a nice scrub in the shower with a washcloth ;-)
I also have this problem now
I was alright till i golt sepsis now my skin and my ears are terrible now
me too! had it just recently
@@leeyoww8458 i think all the drugs and antibiotics they give you are an evil brew and your body just doesn't cope
Great info!! Thanks Doc
very helpful. Thank you Doc
I've had this problem for years, and the ENT's can never solve it for me. This is the best advice I've ever heard. Thank you!
I suffered with itchy ears for decades and tried everything, including the steps outlined here. I ultimately tried swabbing them 2 or 3 times a day with a mixture of 90% White Vinegar and 10% Isopropyl alcohol (91% strength) for 3 to 4 weeks and the problem absolutely disappeared. The first week or so there was a lot of peeling of the damaged keratin layer but it eventually cleared up. The outer edge of the ear canal required continued treatment for a couple of weeks after the deep canal itch had ceased. I still swab them every 2-3 weeks for maintenance, or if I feel any itch starting, but I wish I had tried this earlier.
I think the vinegar was doing the same thing as salicylic acid.
Did your ears ever start producing wax again? Mine dont have any wax. They get wet feeling ..not a lot of any flakes but they are yellowish flakes like babies head has. Just whitish scum kinda. I use canesten because i feel like its fungal and i have foot fungus and my doctor i been going to for years doesnt want to treat me for fungal ..i will try to vinegar alchol but does it brun like heck? It sounds like it will hurt.
Thanks for your recipe, will try it.
I went to an ENT clinic and was advised to spray half white vinegar, half rubbing alcohol into my war canals before a shower. Then I rinse the area in the shower. It helped some, but I also need to go in to have the skin that remains in the ear canal removed, or my hearing is muffled. My mother had the same issue. We both have psoriasis, as this doctor mentioned, although at my clinic they said what I had in my ear didn’t look like psoriasis. Instead, it seems to be a hangover from a pseudomonas infection I picked up in Hawaii, from using untreated catchment water. Anyway, the irrigation helps and doesn’t hurt at all.
Thank you thank you thank you! Your remedy has worked for me. 10 years, 5 doctors, 5 prescriptions, 2 audiologists and the solution was in my house the whole time. Vinegar and rubbing alcohol!!!!!
Thanks. Good advice. Very fruitful
Excellent….plan to try this. Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Bailey excellent in depth advice. Firstly i am hoping i can find these products in England and secondly I'm hoping i can use these products in the ear where the ear drum is damaged. Thanks!
This is pretty wild. Ive had psoriasis since I was 12 and it started on my scalp and ears. Any time I’m in between biologics, my ears get so flaky (yuck yuck I hate it). But this video was SUPER helpful. I had no idea it was this easy to clean it up. I’ll definitely try one of these options. Thank you!
Been to all sorts of doctors to no avail. Thanks much Dr Baile for the valuable info!
Thank you Dr. Bailey.
This is actually really serious. I struggled for decades with no advice from doctors for how to treat it, so ended up in a vicious cycle of scratching and infections.
After 30 years of it, I ended up with squamous cell carcinoma of the ear canal and temporal bone. Extremely rare. My unverified theory is that I caused this through my mistreatment of my ears. I’m one of the lucky ones. It was caught at stage 2. I had 2 surgeries and 33 radiation treatments and am now cancer free but deaf on one side.
It may be an embarrassing problem to have but doctors can’t simply brush it off as insignificant.
So sorry about your troubles!
This is my fear/concern. Thank you for telling your story.
That's what I kept thinking about - cancer. If I kept scratching and damaging my ear tissue, it could lead to all kinds of things. People (even doctors) who have never had this cannot imagine the level of itchiness, burning, stinging, nerve jumping and feeling like something is crawling in the ear. The itch is not one that can be ignored. It is torture to NOT scratch it, and it doesn't subside if you ignore it, at least not for a long time. It is the stuff insanity is made from. Torture.
@@yellowbird5411 it is one-in-a-million rare, literally. I just happened to be one of them. Fortunately found at stage two, not further. Successfully treated.
I needed to hear this, I've also bin scratching for 30 years the same vicious cycle as you. I made me really depressed as I could,nt stop
Thank you for sharing this cautionary tale😊
New subscriber! It’s like having my own private dermatologist in my pocket 🙏🏼 thank you for your devoted willingness to help others. I have a question... Can any of these conditions you’ve mentioned in the video occur on the lips and behind it? If so, would the same treatments help?
Thank you. I will try these relatively simple ways.
Very fine presentation, Thank You!
I’ve developed a little area in the outer of my ear canal. It itches & drives me crazy! I dig & dig at it until I come out with a tiny piece of white skin. My doctor is sending me to a dermatologist. I appreciate this information. It gives me some idea why this is happening. Thank you so much!
Excellent video very informative
Thank you !
Dr. Bailey Skin Care Your welcome
Thank you . Have had this problem for decades. Will try your remedies. This just popped up in my feed. Thank you again .
helpful and very generous, thank you
Huh. I have had this for years. At first it was behind the ear as well as inside the ear canal. I managed to cure the external problem with dandruff shampoo but was afraid to put that inside my ears. Now I have some stuff I can try. If I could get rid of this itch it would be such a relief! Thank you!
I’ve had this dry, dead skin in my ear for over five years. It itches and you end up picking at it until it’s gone but the next day, it reappears! There’s also a bit of dry skin outside my ear around the hole of my earring. It has driven me insane for so long, thank you for this video.
Edit: MY mom and I went to the pharmacy and got a special cream, it was gone after applying it only twice 😶
@@novix07do i know the cream name m?
@@tonyo9381 Fucibet Cream - fusidic acid/betamethasone
I hope it helps you! 😊
@@novix07 Ah I know that cream. Cool.
Is a prescription needed for fusidic acid , fucibet cream or betamethasone?
Thank you so much i have this problem since 30 years!
Thank you. Great info.
I just. …..Spray on a vinegar solution… Stopped the itching…old skin just wiped off later .. . ..with no problem… .. it’s amazing that the simple solutions are so easily available.. and effective….
Hi... What kind of vinegar and should i dilute it?
Bless you for making this video. I thought I was alone in my struggles. Will try your recommendations.
my pleasure
Me too everyone has said everything. Thank you. Thank you.
this was so informative, first time it was explained in depth, I will try this so glad to have come across this
These treatments are what I've used, however, this piece only addresses treatment after the fact and does not deal the issue of systemic inflammation as the primary reason for these flareups. When I stopped eating wheat and dairy (both of which are highly inflammatory) my ears cleared up. It may be different for other people (who have other food allergies and/or sensitivities) but I can guarantee that diet plays a part. Or, you may have an autoimmune that needs investigation, rheumatoid conditions, etc.
Thats music to my ears
Thank you doctor for your advice.
my pleasure
I just ordered your zinc soap. Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Thanks - This provides me more background on my skin issues, and why my dermatologists have prescribed the treatments that they have.
I’ve had this problem for probably 30 years or more. The zinc shampoos work well for me, especially some of the stronger medicated types you find for extremely itchy scalp. I follow up with a little coconut oil on my finger and rub it in my ear just to moisturize after I shower. It does help, and it does get rid of the itch and scale, but it still never goes away. If I skip the process one day it’s back with a vengeance. So it never really goes away. Oh and one good tip, don’t wear black shirts when your ears are itchy and scaly…..
I have been using The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution - just rub a drop or 2 on the affected areas. It feels somewhat sticky, but I put up with it and now the skin around my ears is totally clear. I continue to use it 4 to 5 days a week. I can't use it as a toner, but I use it on elbows, knees and heels for perfectly smooth skin - it's a miraculous product.
I have been using canesten for thrush cream. It works well but it sitll comes back.
@@Padraigp
It’s be ages the inflammation is coming from insure your body!
Clean. Your gut out and change your eating habits!
@@soulfireonfire6423 I dont have inflammation but thanks. Ive had all my inflamatory markers tested. Its a fungal issue that lives on the skin and can overgrow in certain conditions. Not an inflamatory response. Initially yes an infection will cause inflamation but when something goes on for a long time and doctors make it worse by not listening all normal response stops and then doctor say ah look nó inflamation theres nothing wrong.. very annoying that doctors never bother to google anything. Ai will replace them before anyone else.
Thank you for this video. I have had this problem for over 10 years. I have been guilty of Sticking things in my ear to try to stop the itching and it made it worse. I think I will try the coconut oil. Thank you so much for the information.
Oh my goodness thank you I have a lived with this for 20 years I’m gonna try all of it.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I have been plagued with this for a few years now. You have answered all my questions and I think this will finally work!! Will update you soon.
Thank you for making everyone's life easier!!!
Watch the video I've made recently. NO Doctors knows about what you are going through. See Link: czcams.com/video/3FZsCh3BQyE/video.html
Hope the info helped. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I'm watching this at 3am from Australia. My ears have been driving me crazy for years. Now I feel I have an answer to my itchy ear problem. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Its 3am in South Africa as well...1 year later. How ironic😂❤
3:33 am here also when i read this.
3:22 am here in Florida, USA, April, 2023. Will show this to my husband when he wakes up. His ears have been itching and scaley for a couple of years now.
Thank you very much doc ❤️
Thank you,
Finally, an explanation that makes senseand definitive list of positive treatments for something that has been driving me nuts for years! Thank You!!
I thought I was the only one with this problem thank you so much you don't know how much you've helped me with this video thank you
Did that work for you Angel?
I am glad. Thanks for watching
Thank you!
Thank you for this info !
I just saw a dermatologist and we did not go over my ears
I have ketoconazole...I was given that 2 yrs ago for toe nail fungus. That stuff works!
For oil...I love coconut oil in my ears. Just a little does the trick. Glad you addressed the itching and scratching
I've done THAT BEFORE.
NOT A PRETTY PICTURE
I am glad the info helped, thanks for watching and commenting.
I've been having this problem for about 6years now, went to an ENT did treatment and still didn't solve the problem to no avail. So i came across this video and did the coconut oil thing for 2months and now it's all all gone! No more flaking & itching 😀 Thank you Dr. Bailey you're the best!
Bless you for sharing your story with me. So glad to help! Coconut oil is quite amazing actually. drbaileyskincare.com/pages/coconut-oil
How did you apply the coconut oil?
@@samanthalouise3513 First of all i melted the coconut oil and then used my finger to apply on the outer and inside of the ear including the canal with my pinky finger before taking a shower and it helped me tremendously 🙂
@@AndyDarkKnight thank you so much!!
@@samanthalouise3513 No problem Samantha glad to be of some help!
Thank you!!! Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Dr. Bailey! I am delighted that you are addressing this problem. Not too long ago I asked my brother is he washes his ears specifically and this led my questioning just about everyone that I know. I am an RN who has always washed her ears with a thin washcloth and never thought of not doing it ! To my surprise I received unanimous admission that everyone said NO they do not wash their ears! My mother was an RN back in the thirties and had entire books on the subject of hygiene. It appears to me that children are not properly taught how to take proper care of their own bodies. No wonder this problem develops.
I use Packers Pine Tar soap then I use Sarna lotion to sooth and calm the area. Along with not eating lots of sugar. Whenever I eat sugar my Seborrheic dermatitis flairs up.
Thankyou i have been suffering with this problem from years I m. Fed up now. Thanks for the help
My pleasure
I've benefited a lot, Thanks for this informative video Dr.Bailey
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. It worked. You are my hero
Oh my goodness, I’ve had this since I was 17, I’m 52! My dad and sister both have it too. The ENT said it was because I kept my ears too clean and there was no wax. They will crust and scale and I can put the tip of my pinkie in my ear snugly and twist, and the entire surface of my ear canal sloughs off in one piece! I can also use my fingernail and peel off a deeper layer that’s like a scab and I can hear better after I do that. When I was 7, my ears over produced, and my parents used to take me to the doctor to have large pieces of wax washed out of my ears. Now, they just produce what feels like water when I release that “scab”. They also smell, like athlete’s foot smells. My whole ear canal behind my jaw swells up too and I can smell it even when I’m not messing with my ears. I don’t eat sugar or processed foods, in fact, I am whole food plant based since 2004. Clotrimazole didn’t do much. I’ve been on Neomycin for about 15 years, and it takes about 4 days to fully clean it up if I haven’t used it in a while. My ears even bleed sometimes, even with q-tips. It’s maddening and I’d give anything for it to be gone forever!
Try Bee Magic, an ointment you can get online. It has pollen, propolis, royal jelly and honey in it, with olive oil. Propolis is what bees line their hive with to keep viruses out of the hive. It is a product of the pine tree. I started about five days ago, putting a thick layer inside as deep as I can, and on the outer part too, where the skin feels like plastic. I do this twice a day, and I am improving. I've tried many things, but keeping a layer of oil on the ears seems crucial. I don't worry about the crust, because it will dissolve in the oil. I clean my ears once every two days, gently, with tissue, then reapply the ointment. I stopped washing my ears in the shower completely. I keep water out of my ears. I was an ear washer, and I think it hurt my ears. For years I did that, and when I got this problem, I did it even more, with medicated soap. The next morning my ears would start to itch again. Sometimes I would get up in the night and with a wash rag, wash my ears out with soap. It brought temporary relief only. No one who doesn't have this knows the torture. One person recommended petroleum jelly. I've not tried that, but I know it heals broken skin and small wounds and is safe for babies. So maybe that would work, I don't know.
Behind both of my ears have had a crust since COVID started and we wore masks constantly. Going to try this and using masks that tie around my head instead of around my ears 🫶
Thanks for this life saver. I've been struggling for months- one ear has the dry itchy flaky skin on the back and the other on the inside- it has been driving me insane. I was using vaseline but it hasn't helped neither has E45.
Very helpful. TY.
This is such a helpful video! I have scalp psoriasis thats been affecting my ears lately and this is the first video/article that gave suggestions to try with items I had on hand. Already feeling relief. Thank you!
Melanie, thanks for watching and for your lovely comment! I hope my tips help.
Try treatment for Candida, that's what helped me the most! Sugar is evil, it feeds the candida. I love sugar, so it can be hard to resist at times. Good luck!
OMG, I came across this by accident! This is exactly what I have! Thank you!!! Blessings..... :)
I have it on my scalp.
wonderful!
yes, that happens. more info here drbaileyskincare.com/pages/treatment-for-seborrheic-dermatitis-dandruff
Terrible problem with this, have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, but never thought it was in my ears too... Huge thanks for this video.
Wow! I'm SO glad that I stumbled into this video, thank you! Much appreciate the advice... I'll try it out. I wonder if this condition can result in hearing loss. It seems to me that my eardrums are less functional because of this. I haven't had anyone look at them though.
I've been using an SA cleanser, Nizoral, and Vaseline. It completely removed all the scaling/flaking skin.
But now I have huge discoloration where the scaling/flaking used to be.
My sister had this for years. Hers was caused by her gut and it had to do with yeast and inflammation. A naturopath treated her and she had to change her diet. It fixed her ears and she has not had the problem since.
Do you still have her diet plan? What things she avoid and which supplements use for gut health?
Thank you so much miss ma’am
Thanks for the advice 😊👍🏾! Let's me know I was heading the right direction 😅!
I’ve had itchy ears for 10years now. I’ve used hydrocortisone in the past but it always comes back. I am going to try coconut oil and will update what the result will be.
Thank you for this advice as I've been suffering with this exact condition for a long time!
To save yourself time... watch the video at 2 times the speed. This lady talks really slow.

I've been to few doctors and spent in excess of €200 to no avail. With her advice I can now just go to the chemist and get what she suggested over the counter and hopefully i can get rid of this problem.
I'm so grateful for her help and advice and may ALLAH bless her over and over AMEN 🙏 ❤
@@LondonCarnaval You need to find better ways of spending your time instead of lecturing people who are trying to be helpful.

Thank you I started using an over the counter medication BARMICIL worked great on my ear, was worry and couple days cleared up.
Glad to hear!
I've had my condition all my life, but I'm just now paying attention to it. Thank you, buddy
Happy to help!
Me too now that im older it's bothers me more ugh
Thanks
i finally found the answerer! Thank you so much!! Itching for 6 months! Aggerating as hell!!!!
I had this problem for a number of years until a physician prescribed triamcinolone 0.1% cream. That cured it for me very quickly.
Finally someone can acknowledge the intensity of the ear itch, drives me mad!!! wakes me up !Thanks for the advice.
Quite brilliant. I'm going to have a go at this, having had this problem for 40+ years. I'll let you know how I get on.
I have tried this and it has been helping really well but it’s only been 1 week but it is such a relief!!
I had this issue after contracting COVID and used 1oz. of Argon oil with 6 drops of Lavender and Peppermint essential oils; don’t use more than 12 drops total for 1oz. of a carrier oil. Argon oil is great for the skin and Lavender has anti-fungal properties and Peppermint has anti-bacterial properties. It’s not a fast remedy but it is natural. It took about 2 months of applying the oil every morning and night but it did eventually go away.
Wow never knew could get this after COVID.
I've had problems with this since I was a kid (40 now). My outer ear/earlobe crusting seems to come in seasons like now as spring is coming. Thank you for the tips.
Put kefir with water in contains lactic acid . Yeast hate it and itching stopps imedeadly.
Hello there Dr, I'm so pleased I came across your video,I've had an Itchy right ear for around a year now,I've tried loads of so called remedies;but alas, I still have the problem. The itching when it occurs ;has an excruciating itch inside my ear. I will now order some of the Clorimazole,Fingers crossed this will do the trick. Many thanks from the UK. B.
Can't thank you enough Dr Bailey - I've struggled with this problem for about 40 years. I manage it but it's a real nuisance. I've been using a prescribed lotion called Betnovate which definitely helps, but it has a cortisone component so I use it when needed. I'll try to add some of the methods you've suggested but thank you so much for kindly sharing. Warm regards from North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂
Take magnesium and vitamin e and it will go away. It's not an issue of not having cleansers or topical ointments on your skin, it's a deficiency of magnesium and vitamin E.
Not so for me. Taken both for years and still have painful crusty on outer ear.
OMG it worked. Thank you for explaining it so well. I did exactly what you said. I used head and shoulders on a wash cloth to remove flakes. and then anti fungal with cortisone. it only took a week. no more scratching!!!!! Thank you sooooooo much.
Which anti fungal?
Thank you for this. I have this condition and I will try this.😊
I have this problem and my doctor has prescribed Derm Otic Oil which can be pricy depending where you can find it. I’m glad to learn there are alternatives to a prescription drug to treat this annoying condition. Thanks!
When I told my doctor about it she just made a face. No help at all. Thanks for this.
