dry skin in ears

it's only in my ears very dry skin and sometimes itchy i've been using moisturizers and other creams nothing seems to help

It could also be a fungal infection, which is more common in dogs with floppy ears. The ear fold keeps in more moisture than in pointed-eared dogs. It would be a good idea to have your vet take a look so you're not blindly throwing things at the problem that may not work, or may make the situation worse. It's also a good idea to occasionally check for, and remove, any ear wax that is visible. We swab ears with a Q-tip about once a month.

I have dry, rough, slightly reddened areas in the front of both ears. I also noticed that the sides of my neck feel a little rough and dry, however it is not as noticeable as the areas in front of my ears. My skin is normally dry, so I use a lot of lotion. However, lotion has no effect on these dry areas. Just for added info., I don't have psoriasis. My husband tried to take a picture, but the area is not visible in a photo. I have a slight sore throat and feel more tired than normal.

i an a man. my skin is very sensitive skin. very dry and red t zone and very oily forhead and dry cheeks. what do you recommend?

Could be dry skin or mites, like ear mites in your dogs ears. Cats get these mites too. Check the dogs ears and if not, maybe could be simple case of dry skin or possible allergy. Check with your vet of course.

It started out as a small patch on my left ear that i easily hid behind my hair and tried to forget about but recently it has been spreading. Now it is in both ears so badly that i have to pick the skin off to hear right and has also spread to both eyebrows and even my right eyelid! It's becomeing embarassing to have peope see it but everything ive tried hasnt managed to get rid of it. Im trying hydrocortozone now because i read on wiki that it might help but i doubt it will.

Last month I had an ear infection that was cleaned up with antibiotics. Ever since then my ears itch inside. My GP told me to put a drop of mineral oil in them. I've done this and it helps with the itching but I've noticed the skin inside my ears is dry and flaky. Also, my lips are really chapped. This is NO big deal, but I'm kinda wondering since so many people have bad rashes, etc. on tx maybe where the skin is thinest, the tx causes problems?

The lips feel as if they were burnt as the skin comes off during the day (only to come back the next morning) and the ears are crazy scaly and dry behind and a fair bit in the front and on the lobes too. On top of all that, simultaneously with all that, a small red spot also appeared on my penis skin - this one is less scaly (but it is dry) and does not itch but still, seems to be part of this merry company... There are also other, smaller places affected like the eyelids.

I have had crusty, nasty skin problems behind both of my ears from the onset of puberty. What happened today however went above and beyond the normal nastiness I'm accustom to. What I thought was a small patch of dry, flaky skin turned out to be what I would consider, a giant sized blackhead. When I attempted to remove the "dry skin," it was like pulling a cork out. A cork made of dead skin and who knows what else.

Hi I'm 18 My concern Is that I have patches of dry skin in various parts of my body.I have patches of dry skin in my head and ears and in my genitals. It really dry and scaly and I'm worries because I tried all sorts of shampoos and cream and doesn't work. Wondering if it's dangerous and if there is a solution for it.

HIs face becomes aggravated after shavng and sometimes acts up just from washing w/water. Large amounts of dry skin in his ears. Also, 10-20 tiny whiteheads from his upper neck to his forehead. Most of these whiteheads form above his lips and on his cheeks. Occasional blackheads in side cracks of nose. The worst is always-present massive pimples/boils from his neck,along his shoulders and anywhere on his back - sometimes on his belly and chest.

Hello, These skin symptoms are basically due to dry skin. Dry skin results when there is not enough water in the stratum corneum for it to function properly. Too much soapy water, exposure to harsh chemicals, the normal aging process and certain types of skin diseases are some of the causes of decreased amounts of protective skin oils which in turn causes dry skin. The mainstay of management is liberal use of moisturizers after washing with luke warm water. Soap should be used minimally.

m trying my best My skin feels sticky like there is a layer of film caked onto it that has dried my skin out, sometimes it becomes so dry that little ripples begin to form where the skin has bunched together. When this happens my skin begins to have a Rub burn sensation (mainly in the facial areas). When the temperature in the room becomes even the slightest bit cold my feet, hands, ears and recently tip of my nose feels like its been encased in Ice.

does anyone get dry ears with an underactive thyroid, i have tried everything any ideas ???

I even thought maybe it was almost like athletes foot, but in my ears, so I tried some antibacterial ointment in my ears, which seemed to kind of help, but not completely, and also thought it could be dermatitis, but I don't think that's it. I am fine with going back to the doctor if it would mean I get an actual answer, but I can't spend the money, for them to basically write me off again. Any ideas what this could be?

I took supplements from my chiropractor because I was having trouble with dry eys and skin. Then when I had a physical with my primary doctor he said my labs were bad. My TSH was 0.10 and high antibodies. So, I started going to a endo doctor. He ran all the blood work and the TSH was around 4 something. That was only after a couple of weeks after the last lab. My current labs now are all normal. I don't know what is going on.

You can use warm water and a bit of dish soap to wash the ears out. Make sure you rinse well to get ALL th soap out. You might want to trim the points off Ginger's nails first. This procedure only takes a couple if minutes, and can be done in your kitchen sink. No, water in cat's ears does not harm them in any way, ut you do want to get that soap out. Dry gently with a towel. If Ginger shows any signs of actual pain (like when you rub her ears, she goes crazy), then stop.

This is because eczema often presents with itchy, red, dry and flaky skin. If the rash is non itchy then dry skin or seborrheic dermatitis of the face are important differentials to be ruled out. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches.

I've had eczema in my ears for 15 yrs. It is very cyclical, starting w/intense uncontrollable itching, then clear fluid leaking from skin, followed by crusting over & flaking of skin in ears that is itchy in & of itself, leading to more scratching & picking at ears. The skin in my ears gets very damaged and ratty during outbreaks. I also have swelling of the ear canal after these itch/scratch episodes that are sometimes quite painful, & Motrin helps that.

My skin has become extremely dry and the skin at times appears to peel on my forehead and Ears. Alcohol, spicy foods & temperature will induce or aggravate the situation.

Our Rottie Daisy is almost 2, and is otherwise healthy but has recurring ear infections in the summer. She is in the pool very often, and are attributing it to the frequent moisture in her ears. In the winter, it's almost non-existent. In the summer I clean her ears regularly, and Otomax cure flare-ups quickly. Here's the problem: Last week she developed a hot spot on her cheek. I shaved the area, cleaned and disinfected, and treated with apple cider vinegar to dry it out.

For the last 6 months or so the nodes behind my ears have been swollen and the skin behind my ears is always flaky and very dry. I also have been getting cysts behind my ears that come and go after a few weeks. I would greatly appreciate your comment, I do not currently have health insurance.

I think the itching is actually subsiding. I have been using the ear wipes and ear wash along with a shampoo for dry skin. Also trying to feed her grain free. I really think she has some sort of eating disorder. No matter what the food, wet or dry or even peices of chicken or beef, she just nibbles at it. She doesn't appear to be feeling ill. Her bowel movements are normal. When she eats, she picks up small bits of the food and takes it to another room.
