Why could my ear keep getting a painful scratchy feeling inside it ? it comes and goes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below.: This could be from wax in your ear in the ear canal or even against your ear drum. You could also have a "swimmer's ear" which is from water trapped in your ear canal, causing a bacterial or fungal infection. You should see your doctor to determine the cause. Do not try to clean out the wax yourself, as you may make it worse.
