Hello,
If you have itchy red areas behind both ears, this is very likely due to eczema. You can use a combination of hydrocortisone cream 1% and miconazole cream twice a day for 7-10 days.
Normally you should have an improvement in 3-4 days.
If you are not better in 4 days or using this treatment or you are any worse, you will need to see your doctor.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. Let me know if I may assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
