Itchy and painful ears may be due to eczema of the external ear canal, fungal otitis, chronic suppurative otitis media, etc.
Eczema of the external auditory canal is usually caused by the surrounding air environment as well as the state of high temperature and humidity, and it may also be caused by repeated water ingress into the ear, which usually leads to the skin of the external auditory canal to have vesiculation, congestion, crusting, and oozing, thus causing repeated itching and pain.
Fungal otitis belongs to a kind of otitis externa, which not only causes itching and pain in the external auditory canal, but also causes tofu-dreg-like white discharge from the external auditory canal.
Chronic suppurative otitis media can also cause pain deep in the ear during an acute attack, as well as itchiness due to pus irritating the skin of the external ear canal.
There are other causes of itching and pain in the ear, and it is recommended that patients consult a hospital to identify the cause of the disease and under the guidance of a professional doctor to carry out active treatment, so as to avoid delays in the condition.
