Suggest Remedy For Dry And Flaky Skin Behind Ears
Hi the last few years my skin is becoming more sensitive in certain areas one being my ears which become itchy and flaky. I have been using a steroid cream which keeps it under control but the last few weeks I am hearing my heartbeat in my ears especially at night, could this be linked to the previous problem or should I see my GP? Thanks

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is Seborrheic dermatitis which is also commonly known as dandruff. The treatment options include topical ketoconazole shampoos twice a week. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
