Ointment to the area: Your itching comes from the superficial irritation from the skin cancer on the surface of the ear...( I presume that is why you are having the MOHs procedure)...Bacitraacin os Neopsporin ointment may help you until you have the sugrey performed... t

OTC benzocaine: Over the counter benzocaine, an ingredient in sun burn remedies, would reduce the symptom until you can have definitive treatment. A prescription agent, viscous lidocaine, would do the same and probably more effectively.
