Are you sure this is eczema? It sounds like you may have a candida problem. One of the symptoms is itchy ears. I had that problem a couple of years ago and it was pretty bad. My ears itched all the time and they were scaly and the back of my scalp was scaly too. I was very lucky - I went to a local pharmacy that promotes holistic healing and asked for a dandruff shampoo that wasn't too harsh...the wonderful pharmacist said the problem is on a cellular level and gave me a questionaire to help determine if I had a candida problem. He also recommended probiotics twice per day. I realized I did have a candida problem and had great success with the probiotics, and I also followed up with some dietary changes and using a product from ___ called ___ which is an herbal cleanse. It worked for me because my ears and scalp are no longer scaly and itchy and I had that problem for years!Replied by Linda (York County, Maine) on 09/10/2009
Hi Gals...I've had itchy ears, too, but not deep in the ear canal...more at the opening of my ear...got very crusty and yucky, I couldn't leave it alone. The back of my head has itched for a year...not scaly, really, but itchy like crazy...both have been better of late. (My daughter once massaged my head briefly and said my scalp felt 'tight' - she's an LMT.) I tried __ Food which helps the oxygen in your body be dispersed for the ulitmate benefit....also, my thyroid replacement was reduced a month or so ago...not sure what has helped my condition, but thought I'd check in to commiserate a bit. And to offer my experience with something that sounds so similar to what you're suffering with. I thought I was the only one!!
