A low dose cortisone cream used at the end of a Qtip and gently applied to the ear canal before heading to bed. Gently use a wet Qtip in morning to clean out the ear canal. No picking with fingers important

Dry skin on head for over 10yrs. Head itches & gets worse if hair is wet. Anti dandruff shampoo works 50%. Within 3 days, head starts smelling bad. Oily hair. Ears permanently flaky/skin visible.
