Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Itching in the ears is may be due to the wax, allergies, fungal infections, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis and insects.
The cause for your symptoms should be identified by physical examination by your ENT surgeon with the help of the otoscope, then we can decide what treatment is required to you.
I suggest you to consult your doctor at the earliest to find out the cause and take appropriate treatment.
Thank you.
