itching ear painful tooth and a dry nose

For months now I've had an itch in my ear, I've rub my canal opening raw. This makes the whole side of my head itch. I've been to the Doctor, who sent me to the ear, nose and throat specialist, that said I have eczema, gave me a creme, no help.
Now, my canina tooth started hurting and is extremely sensitive cold. I've taken 20 days worth of amoxicillin with temporary relief, then it comes back afew days later.
One more thing, not sure this has anything to do with the rest. My nostrils are dry and when I blow, it has blood speckles in it.
Any ideas?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The ear itching could be due eczema. This itches so much that all the scratching makes it look like 'shoe leather' (or 'elephant hide'). People who suffer from this disorder should avoid contact with triggering factors like soaps, cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, and detergents. Sometimes sweat, changes in temperature and psychological stress are known to trigger these episodes. So, the best way to prevent attacks is to identify those substances which you are allergic to and avoid them.

Extreme cold weather can cause dryness of the nose and bleeding. Try using an OTC saline spray. Avoid blowing your nose too hard and use a soft Kleenex. If you don’t already have one get a humidifier for your bedroom. Hope these help.
