Relief from Itchy Ears For many years I suffered from itchy ears. I'm sure you've surfed the Web just like I did and found many causes and suggested remedies: from earwax removal to olive oil treatments. I tried "Swimmer's Ear Drops," rubbing alcohol, anything I could think of to relieve the constant irritating itch! Finally, about five years ago an Ear Nose & Throat Dr. at Kaiser in Redwood City prescribed: Betamethasone Valerate Cream USP 0.1% You'll need a prescription for it, and it WORKS! At least it did for me. I don't use it often now, about once a week or so. Your doctor will tell you how to apply it. I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. Always seek the advice of your physician!
