If so, how do you treat it? (if you do)
Have you had it long?
Do you know what causes it?

This is called seborrheic dermatitis. Your doc can give you a cream to take care of this.

Yea, I've had it for years. It's dry skin and if you keep scratching it off, you can create an open sore. It's just inside the inner ear. Best way to treat it is with a non alcohol cream. I use Johnson and Johnson baby oil cream, dab just a bit on your small pinky finger and rub the spot, it will take about 3-4 weeks to cure. You'll have to do it for the rest of your life. I've had the problem for 25 years. P.S. Be sure not to use too much cream or you'll get some deeper in your ear and that's not a comfortable feeling. Don't use a cotton swab because you can insert the swab to deep. Just use your pinky finger and a very slight amount of cream.

It is a kind of eczema caused from the ears retaining moisture after a bath. It is hard to get rid of and can itch and get sore and be a nuisance. Make sure the ears are dried well inside after showering or swimming and swab GENTLY with alcohol. Then use a couple drops of mineral oil in the ear. This will help.

Yeah I started getting this a few months ago and thought it was from hair styling products - I just use E45 every night and morning and it is fine as long as I keep using it

yea i get it, after your shower but some baby oil on a qtip and rub on it just not in you ear. It should work but you might want to change your soap.

I do on the little "tags" of the ear. (not the lobe)
I put a little lotion on them after I get out of the shower. It seems to help alot.
