My ears are always itchy, and when I clean them, they feel moist inside. Could you please tell me what might cause the itching and damp sensation in the ears?

Dr. Xu Gang
Itchy ears with a sensation of moisture inside may be caused by eczema in the ear canal. External auditory canal eczema can produce purulent secretions, and the discharge of these secretions may make patients feel a flowing substance, leading to symptoms of itching and wetness in the ear. In such cases, treatment with anti-allergic medications should be conducted under the guidance of a physician at a hospital. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention if symptoms become severe.
