if you get a q tip and some baby oil use the q tip to apply the baby oil to the dry and scaly patches inside your ears and after a few days those patches should clear right up. most people don't properly moisturize their ears and that is why the dryness happens

I would suggest trying lotion and exfoliation. Also, check with a dermatologist. You may have something like psoriasis or really bad eczema.

The condition could be caused by anything from Psoriasis to dandruff to dry skin. Because this can have a number of different causes, it is best to seek the advice of an ENT or General Practitioner to diagnose the problem. You may also want to seek the advice of a Dermatologist.

These symptoms may indicate a skin disease called eczema, especially if there are other parts of your body that is affected too. A doctor should be consulted if this is the case. Another cause for this may simply be dry, neglected skin. Always apply a body lotion to your ears when getting out of a bath or shower.

You may have acne in your ear. You can get some pore cleanser and put it on a q tip. You can then lightly rub it in your ear around the patches.

You can use a gentle moisturizer to soothe dry, scaly skin, but the best way to clear this up is to see a dermatologist.

If a person has dry, scaly patches inside their ears, they may just need to scrub them off with clean, warm water on a wash cloth. If they are severe, Q-tips might help clear them up. This issue can indicate skin dryness by the ears, so keeping the ears moisterized will help to prevent this in the future.

Rub hydrocortisone cream on the patches two-three times a day. To be safe, continue using the cream until one week after the patches have disappeared.
