Ok so..
For about one week now the outside of my ear has been sooo itchy!
I don't know why.
It's not poison ivy or anthing..
And I haven't been swimming..
So I don't know whats wrong.
Any suggestions on what to do??

You always have to keep water out of your ears. Some people wear ear plugs, even if they like to submerge in the tube. They're are products out there to dry the ear. The pharmacist might know the best or at least the most popular. I would call a doctor to see about what they suggest and if you could get a prescription quickly, if you need it, as ear infections can be really painful, I doubt you would let it get dangerous, for that reason, but you know appointments, if you don't have a regular doctor, and even if you do, can be into several weeks. If it gets worse, don't lie on it or rub it as it makes it even worse. luv

Enter your symptoms into webMD.com & it should give you a list of possible problems and ways to fix it.
If the problem persists after these at-home treatments, go see a doctor!

Maybe it's just a patch of dry skin..try using Shea butter on it.
