Swimmer's ear: I suspect that you probably have swimme's ear. See your health care provider . May need some ear drop.

Severe itch inside anal cavity and inside vaginal canal... External skin not as bad. Itchy behind ears and around mouth, too. Not sexually active, very good hygiene, and constantly clean-- this is horrifying! What's happening?
