What Causes Dry Feeling In Ear After An Injury With Q Tip?
I poked my ear with a Q tip a couple of months ago. It bled but I didnt work too much because I could hear fine and the bleeding stopped. Since then, Ive washed it out several times - occassional over the last months - and have noticed that it never feels like it gets dry in there

Hi ,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum .
As per your clinical history it appears you feels dry in ear canal because of thin layer of crust formation due trauma with Q tip rubbing.
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you stop using Q tip , use Ciplox D ear drop five times daily for itching .
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
