Can you use methylated spirit to clean your itching ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe safe, but: There is no question in my mind about white vinegar being the better choice. I'd dilute it 1:1 with water. It's very successful at stopping itch - even better than hydro-cortisone creams. It will sting less too and stinging skin that is already irritated doesn't sound good. Best!
