Hello,
There seems to be a dermatological problem and that needs to be examined first .As you said its itchy seems top be a fungal infection and which is spreading.
Then get skin consultation done and take medicines for the disease.
There can be hypo-pigmentation also in that itchy area ,which must be visible easily.
It does not seems to be a disease coming from inside the ears .
In doubt do reply.
