The issue I have is that my left ear is seemingly always itchy.
When I scratch it, it creates more dead skin and more wax forms, and I get a blockage. Scratching can also sometimes cut my ear and cause an infection.
Its easy to resist the urge throughout the day, but I scratch the hell out of it in my sleep. So I have this cycle of scratch, blockage/infection followed by micro suction and antibiotics.
Just deal with the itch right?
I have tried creams and all sorts with differing results, the issue is not helped by the fact that I exercise heavily six days a week. Sweat in the ear ( I use plugs to try and soak up what I can) itches the ear more.
Its manageable, but I am always aware that I could have another issue at any time.
