Since you already have a condition with one ear, you should check with your doctor. The itching and "gunk" could be caused by swimmer's ear, allergies, sinus or ear infections, or just built up ear wax.
You can buy over-the-counter ear cleaners if it's built up ear wax. But if it's not, and you use the cleaners, you could aggravate the condition. So it is best to check with your doctor before trying to treat it.
Good luck!

If the gunk is white or yellow and fluffy, you may have a fungis caused by an imbalance of pH in your canal. Try using drops made up of 1 part water to 1 part white distilled vinegar. This does the trick for me. Do this about 4 times a day. DO NOT stick a qtip in your ear. You should notice improvement after the 1st day.
