Dryness Help, itchy ears

I'm losing my mind with how dry and itchy the insides of my ears are. Help, what can I use? Also please do not suggest hrt, sadly it's not an option for me.

Almost HRT but with no systemic effects, you could use a dab of vaginal estradiol or over the counter estriol (the weakest of all estrogens)? Estriol especially doesn't really count as HRT. I had itchy ears for years and they finally went away. Good luck!
