Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hi all, Wondering if anyone else has had a problem with chronic itchy, scaly outer ears? This started after getting treated for swimmer's ear. It's been 2 1/2 years now... When it flares up, my ears will 'drain' clear fluid that is a bit gummy and this coats the outer ear area. Meanwhile, the whole area feels like tiny microorganisms running races across my skin. ITCHY. Most of the time, this fluid has a slightly yeasty smell... If you've had this problem, have you found any solution? I've had diagnosis of seborrhea and when it's really flared up, pseudemonis (bacterial infection from the itching i think). After trying everything under the sun (and it just coming back), now I'm wondering if it could be mold related. I have MCS and mold and fragrances are my two biggies that have and continue to trip my system. I am back on a strict anti-candida diet, which doesn't seem to really be helping it. I've gone through my foods, etc. to see if it's an allergy. And I've tried Neomycin and Polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone Otic Solution USP, Floxin (ofloxacin), tobramycin, acetasol drops...and alternative treatments with: oregano oil in almond oil, rubbing alcohol, tea tree oil (I felt sick from the fumes of this), caprylic acid powder mixed with water, oregano oil in jojoba oil. All of these, except caprylic acid, would sting when I would put on the skin; but it would help decrease the itchiness. Oregano oil helped somewhat but didn?t solve the issue. Any ideas?
