I, too, suffer from sebhorrea dermatitis in my ears. The product I use that helps to "manage" (does not cure) the ongoing problem, is a product prescribed by my dermatologist.) I'd tried all the over-the-counter remedies, none of which helped and some of which exacerbated the problem! I take an eye dropper, squeeze the end to pull-up some of the liquid Fluocinolone Acetonide Topical Oil 0.01% (which is an oil I also use on my scalp at times) and then gently insert the end of the dropper into each ear and squeeze the bulb to release the liquid medication into my ear. It doesn't take much since the ear canal is not very long. I remain lying on my side so that the liquid medication can absorb into the canal, then place a small piece of cotten into the opening of the canal to keep from getting my pillowcase stained. I do the same thing to the other ear.
I also use my prescription Ketaconazole 2% shampoo to wash out my ears by mixing 1/2 tsp. shampoo into 1/8 cup warm wate; stir thoroughly. Using an eye dropper, I shoot three (3) eye droppers full of this mixture into each ear and leave in each ear while washing my hair being careful not to rinse the mixture out of my ears until I've finished washing my hair. When all done washing my hair, I run lukewarm water into each ear for from 5 to 10 seconds only! (I always do this the morning after I have used the oil treatment.) I have an amazing Dermatologist who I dearly love!! I'm 76 and have been using him for years. It can be difficult to fin one who you really "click" with, but never give up the search if you don't find him/her on first try! Best of luck to you, ~Jeanie F. in Minnesota
