A member asked:
I was told by a doctor to try rubbing alcohol in my itchy ears. i've tried a few times and got very dizzy and lightheaded. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rubbing alcohol will: dry out the skin and likely make the itching worse, try some OTC hydrocortisone and if not better see a different doctor, preferably a board certified dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment
