Q: last 3 months i get some dry flakes in both my ears in my ear canals. it is like patches of dandruff in my ears?

: You need to see an ENT specialist to clean out your ears. You have a buildup of dry, dead skin flakes and not enough earwax. Also it could be from eczema, psoriasis, or a dermatitis. You probably have an itch, that's why you should see a specialist.
