Hi, I Am Male, Age 42, From Singapore. For About

Hi, I am male, age 42, from Singapore.
For about 1.5 months now, I have been having dryness on the earlobe on both ears. The earlobes feel rough and warm to the touch, with patches or bumps on the skin surface. They are very itchy, appear red and swollen and flake off in oily clumps. It happens at the parts where the earlobes join my head (and the skin dry and cracking), but the itch can spread to the earlobe and to the neck behind the ear. I have been applying Vitamin E oil 24,000 IU for about 5 weeks but there is no improvement, so it doesn't seem like a normal case of dry skin.
