I have coped with this condition all my life.
My ear canals that attach to the outer ears constantly
Host a layer of white skin that is thick and can be
Peeled off of the skin of my ear canals. The reason
For peeling off this thick white raised recurring patch
Of skin is because it itches. Once the skin has been peeled
Off, the new skin feels like it's on fire and does not itch.
In six hours, new skin has formed and the itching returns
With intensity. These patches of skin constantly being removed
By my fingernail show pour type raised areas that look
Like tiny bumps all over the surface of the piece of skin
That's been peeled off. The other side is very smooth.
Sometimes the removed patch of skin is almost clear and thin.
Other times it's thick and opaque with more pronounced bumps.
I remove two to four pieces of raised patches of my skin each day.
The skin underneath the removed skin tends to weep a clear liquid
Or occasional blood right after the skin that itches is removed.
I've learned that a dermatologist can prescribe a steroid to clear up
Sehborric dermatitis in the ears which is a skin disorder that
Is one incredible misery. Planning to try that. Apparently the
Recurrence of new skin that is a patch and is continues to flake off
On its own if it's not removed is a characteristic of sehborric
Dermatitis. After 44 years of suffering, it is helpful to know
That the overproduction of a certain kind of yeast on human skin
Is responsible for the ongoing presence of sehborric dermatitis in areas where ear wax is produced. Funny thing though is that my ears
Are too dry to produce ear wax and instead, skin that needs to be
Peeled off is produced instead. The topical steroid is supposed to
Prevent the production of ski created by the yeast that lives off our skin.
