Anyone else suffer from ichy inner ears?
My right one is driving me mad. Even my trusty paper clip isn't helping.

Yep. I find massaging the underside of my ear helpful.
The scratching will only make it worse.
If it gets really bad you could get some ear drops from the chemist

You shouldn't stick anything into your ear smaller than your elbow!

I shall try this.

But it feels good.

I know. But I'm a rebel.
You could try the following
1 take a deep breath
2 pinch nose shut with one hand, and push ear closed with finger on other hand (there's like a fleshy button at the base of ear.)
3 silently count to a hundred
4 let go of nose and ear and exhale simultaneously

A rebel with a f**ked up ear! 
Go and see the ear nurse at your health centre!
Yes I get itchy inner ears, try to leave it but have resorted to ear-drops.
The nurse said put cotton wool in ears when showering as I could be sensitive to certain chemicals, this has helped.
Only ever use clean cotton buds.

With this level of expert health advice you really should be working for NHS Direct, Marc.

As opposed to dirty ones?

What's that you say?
AJGO just had a lovely nap. She is now feeling much better about her rushed fringe-cut, and is pretending it is Amelie-esque even though she knows she actually looks like Dwayne Dibley

Yes, my GP told me it was a sort-of ear eczema, and gave me some drops IIRC. He was also adamant that you should poke anything it there to scratch it, so step away from the paperclip .
You know you spend too much time on the BCG when... You see a flat advertised in the area 'Lee' and automatically think 'vil'
