I have had an itchy ear for a few months...its one of those deep intense itches where you could find yourself scratching it extremely hard for minutes on end. I had tried h202 and turpentine mixed with castor oil, both with limited, temporary relief. Decided to try some DMSO today. Eureka! The itch appears to have disappeared. I used a 70% blend with 30% distilled h20. Soaked a q-tip and rubbed the inside all the way down the canal. I don't know why I didn't think of this before! So please list DMSO as a viable solution, and thanks Diedre for all you do.

I followed your 70/30 ('ish) DMSO/water and just like that, quit itching. No pain, uneasiness whatever ever....just quit itching. Will apply again if necessary. I can't imagine it would take only once!

Hi there

How are your ears now, a few years after trying this??

How did the DMSO work long term?
