Sleep with ear plugs every night, change them 1x monthly. inner ear itchy hurt and peeling by end of month. what should i be doing? go to my dermatologist ?

Ear plugs: are associated with a buildup of WAX (Cerumen) in the ear canal... You should have your ears examined since this does not usually result in itchiness.(more likely due to a "dandruff - like condition of the ears/scalp (seborrhea) Hope this is helpful Dr Z
