Hydrocortisone cream: It sounds like you have a mild dermatitis and it should respond to Hydrocortisone over-the-counter. The cream warms up quickly and should be easy enough to get behind your ears and in the ear canal but don't put it too far in. It only needs a little bit on your finger and you can rub it on the inside of your ear canal as well as behind your ear. That should take care of things. If not see your dr.

Skin problem.: Seems to be a fungal infection. Fungus are difficult to eliminate. Treatment is usually long and sometimes requires systemic medicine, not just topical. Consult a dermatologist.
