Itchy ear canals

(1/5) > >>

Katherine:
Hi ladies,

Has anyone experienced dry itchy ear canals? Fo that past few days I keep getting the urge to get my little finger right in and scratch. I wear foam earplugs for sleeping every night otherwise I would get woken up and they pull any ear wax out with them so I have no wax which is probably the reason. I’ve ordered some olive oil drops but could do with an ear canal cream   if there I such a thing.

Not sure if it'll help but I use wax earplugs and my ears always seem to be well greased (perhaps I have the opposite problem? ;D). They're cheap from Boots if you want to try them.

Hi Sheila, I’ve ordered some wax ones from boots and some silicone ones that go on the outside plus the olive oil drops so I’m hoping they do the trick!  :)

Hi Katherine,

Have you tried Sea Buckthorn Oil? It helps with dry "orifices". I take it for dry eyes from Holland & Barratt. Not cheap but worth a look/try?

Hi Dotty,

No, I haven’t, I will look into that. Thank you. I know of some really good moisturising oils, like castor and jojoba but it’s just a question of whether you can put them in your ears. But if you put sea buckthorn near your eyes I guess it would be ok in the ears..
