Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having fungal infection in your ears.
This is a common problem as due to anatomy of external ear there is wetness in ears due to trapping of some water in external ear.
Clean the ears with q-tip and keep it dry.
Put anti-fungal ear drops.
Put cotton plugs while taking bath to prevent water going inside the ears.
Ok and take care.
