The ear is one of the most complex organs in the structure of the human body. It is responsible for the most important feeling - hearing. And when problems begin with them, it gives a person a lot of unpleasant sensations, even if it just itches in the ear.
We will not think about the bad and talk about the causes of ear pain - this question is best addressed immediately to the doctor. But that's why sometimes the ears inside itch, and how to deal with it, it’s definitely worth knowing. There can be several reasons for this phenomenon: from the simplest everyday, to complex and, at first glance, unrelated health problems. Let us dwell on each of them in more detail.
The first reason that
itches inside the ears can be a commonplace
food allergy. It manifests itself in all people in a different form: from such ear scabies to a serious malaise, akin to a cold. Therefore, if the ears itch inside, remember if you had eaten anything allergenic before. And, just in case, take Diazolin or any other antihistamine.
The second no less popular cause can be ear diseases, and in particular otomycosis or ear fungus. It can provoke the overthrow and deliver a lot of negative feelings, not to mention the fact that the fungus cannot lead to anything good. It only weakens the immune system and provokes more serious diseases. Therefore, it is better to immediately consult a doctor - an ENT or a dermatologist. Also, similar symptoms can provoke a skin disease inside the ear.
Another popular reason why the ears itch inside, if you relax in the lap of nature, may be a common tick. These insects can crawl into the most unexpected places and stick tightly. Since tick saliva has a slight anesthetic effect, it is very easy not to notice its bite, and it will make itself felt only by light tickling in a bitten place. If this happens, do not try to remove the tick from the wound yourself - its oral apparatus is very fragile, and its particles can remain in the wound and cause inflammation. Contact a specialist to properly remove it, as well as to determine the genus of the tick, because after bites of some of them you need to be vaccinated.
A more terrible, but also the most rare cause of tickling in the ear can be a latent form of diabetes. If itches in the ear for quite a long time, and your family has already had this disease in the anamnesis, it’s better not to go visit an endocrinologist, because in such cases it is better to play it safe.
But we will not scare you ahead of time, because, no matter how you turn it, the most common reason why
your ears itch inside was and remains the most common household hygiene. Or rather, its non-compliance. Try to wash your ears every day and use special cotton swabs more often. Just do not overdo it; it’s not worth brushing your ears too deeply.
Remember that caring for your ears is an important part of taking care of your health, because with the health of your ears you can easily lose your hearing or acquire a chronic form of ear disease. Do not put off your health in a long drawer and consult a specialist on time in case of disturbing symptoms.
