Is it normal for my ears to itch?

Irritation, burning, and itching of the outer part of the ear and ear canal are common problems affecting millions of people. In medical terms ear itch is known as "chronic otitis externa" and results in chronic ear discomfort. This chronic ear discomfort is not normal and is treatable.

What causes my ears to itch?

Itching ears is caused by a combination of fungus, moisture, and skin hypersensitivity. Benign skin fungi known as dermatophytes invade the superficial layers of the skin or epidermis where the moist environment of the ear allows them to flourish. The skin of sensitive individuals then responds with irritation and inflammation. This mild fungal infection and inflammation can cause itching, burning and even tenderness.
