Dear Rose,

I see that you posted a question about it 4 years ago. So sorry you haven't found a cure for it yet. Hope you find a permanent solution very soon.

I presume you've tried 3% hydrogen peroxide in the ears? You said you've tried many remedies at this point and that is one of the top remedies on Earth Clinic for itchy ears.

Can you please post all that you've tried to date? That may be helpful for people.

Try turmeric and black pepper.

Mix 1 heaping teaspoon of turmeric and 1 heaping teaspoon of black pepper in a glass of whole milk. Stir it in the milk and drink it fast because the pepper will sink to the bottom. Do this twice a day for a few days.. This mix makes boils pop within hours and forces out any infection in your body even some you didn't know you had. This has worked wonders for me for years and should for you. :-)

One time, my sister had a nasty rash on her forearm. I used black walnut husk (from the tree) and it went away in a couple of days. I use hydrogen peroxide to clean my ears of wax. You can actually hear the popping it makes dissolving wax. But if you have tried that, I would put black walnut tincture on a q-tip and let it sit in the ear after swapping for a few minutes to fully absorb.

Hi Rose,

I have been dealing with this for 2 years. Started after an antibiotic. Seems its in my sinus and throat too? And teeth all left side. I went tov Mayo clinic zero help. I wonder if its Lyme for myself. It is maddening. Iv too have tried it all. Have you tried Intervectin cream? Its the horse paste. I put it on the outside of ear and behind it. Someone told me to do this for 6 weeks. I just started.

Believe it or not, I found out ear infections can be caused by acid reflux. and one does not necessarily know when they have it. The only way I knew I had it was because my mucus was very thick, but that thickening clogged my ears causing infections, and itch. I had to eat tiny meals on the hour instead of three times a day. also when I went vegan ( I used to love dairy, also blue green algae caused the thickening too) that cut my infections down to almost nothing.

my success:

1. eating smaller meals,

2. going vegan.

3. eating smaller amounts of sprulina.

This CURED my life time of drippy itchy ears!

I have suffered from this issue for years, also. I do think it is fungus related, as I experienced an infection of black fungus in my ears after using a public pool. I find that it feels great to swipe ears with apple cider vinegar. Stops the itch. At first I used vinegar in a dropper, and also a drop of 'sweet oil' when it was at its worst. I avoided use of any dairy products for years, that also helped. I am much better now, only an occasional itchy ear at night.

I used the generic miconazole for Monistat... a dab on a q-tip after showering when the wet canal would spread it to places I didn't want to push the q-tip. Takes repeated treatment even after no symptoms. Hope this helps.

You might live in a house with mold. Get an ERMI test done on your house and see. I had this problem and tried many different remedies. Nothing helped until we addressed the mold in our home.

I hope you've tried going to a nutritionist. Also acupuncture and herbs can be the answer. If you cant find an answer from western medicine, seriously think about an alternative. Good luck!

I have had this same thing, I got rid of it by dampening a cotton bud with water and adding one drop of tea tree oil per ear -- fantastic relief and I have not had it for 5 years.

Cheers, Kay

Rose, Purification essential oil from Young Living oils may help. I put 1 drop on a q-tip and run it around the inside of my ear. It clears up itching and rash like condition. I trust that this may help you or someone else.

I have eczema in my ears. Q-tip makes it worse.

What I found helpful with the itchiness is castor oil, put a drop of it on your pinkie (finger) and put your finger inside of your ears. Use ear plugs when you go swimming or bathing that is after the infection goes away. Have you tried Colloidal Silver? Maybe Tea tree oil with castor oil for both infection and eczema? Hope they help you.

I have found that fungal / skin issues are better treated from the inside out. They take a LONG time to control.

Try drinking Apple Cider Vinegar in water EVERY day.

It took 3 months for my toes to improve after buying used shoes.

I suggest ear candling could give your ear canals an opportunity to heal. It is non invasive no discomfort and would draw out what is in the ears so anything else you might use has a fair chance of working. A naturopath should be able to help with this procedure. Best of luck.

First ,Diet is important. Eliminate or lower Sugar, Yeast & Gluten foods and Alcohol. It can also be a food allergy.

I have eczema in my ears. I use Oregano Oil internally short term.

Hi Rose,

I'm sorry to hear of the difficulty you're having. My research indicates the you are suffering from mainly a number of vitamin deficiencies.

The main vitamin deficiencies are vitamin A, B vitamins Biotin, PABA, Choline, and Inositol but you should also take vitamins C & D. You also have a deficiency of vitamin F which is linoleic acid.

The main mineral deficiencies are manganese, zinc, copper, iodine and sulphur. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a good source of biological sulphur.

A good way to start here is to get a good B100 tablet or capsule and a good multi-mineral tablet. Since I see you're in Chicago, you can get these items from, https://www.swansonvitamins.com/, if you can't obtain them at you local drug store or health food store. Swanson has B100 (SW056) and Albion Mult-Minerals (SWU062)

You can get vitamin F from either of: 4 tablespoons of sunflower seeds, 8 pecan halves or from a tablespoon or two of sunflower oil.

Best source of vitamin A is cod liver oil, at a couple of tablespoons per day. You can also get cod liver oil capsules if you can't handle the taste of cod liver oil. Vitamin A should be 50,000 to 75,000 IU per day. You can also buy vitamin A capsules.

It would also be a good Idea to add liver to you diet. The way I like liver is to dice it up small and pan fry it till nicely browned. Fry up an equal amount of onions and fry them up until slightly browned as well. Make sure to salt and pepper both items. Then combine them together and you can add a little water to make a bit of a gravy. When they're done and eat them with ketchup that improves the flavour.

You could also buy the individual vitamins mentioned above as well as the minerals, but it is dangerous to take individual B vitamins alone as in working, they use up other B vitamins and can create other B vitamin deficiencies.

Your symptoms will persist forever until these vitamin and mineral deficiencies are met. There is no other answer or substitute. These deficiencies must be met. Steroids only reduce the discomfort they won't cure it and drugs only treat the symptoms not the cause.

I hope this is of help to you.

Frank
