Dovobet or Elocon prescribed by docs, but only a small amount and not right into the inner ear.

Ear candeling!!! Health food stores carry them! Long, beeswax hollow candle. You put tip into ear, light the opposite end and let burn down (slip candle into pie tin with hole in middle to catch any candle that drops off as it burns. Once burned to the safety mark, extinguish. You can unroll the tip that was in ear and see the funk it pulled out. Blessed relief from itching for a good while!!! Not terribly expensive, painless (you feel a very little bit of warming in the ear canal-not by any means uncomfortable) and it gets all that dried out skin and wax build up (which is exacerbated by the dry skin...). 😉👍👍
