Any home remedies for itchy, scaly skin behind ears?
Hi,
I have had this for several months now and intend to go to the doctor but thought I would try this forum. I suffer from lots of flaky skin behind ears mostly at the top. It seems to weep and generate a crustiness I noticed. I have tried dandruff shampoo, neosporin, lotion, tea tree oil, and plain petroleum jelly. All have worked to a point, but the itchiness and scaly skin still continue. It comes off in flakes. I do wear glasses and use a headband when I go to the gym which I thought caused it. Keep it clean and dry after showers but it hasn't helped. Anyone have something that works?
