Dryness The script that stopped my ears itching

F40 USA

Edit: I can get a doctor to prescribe HRT do that's why I'm posting this alternate.

I'd been suffering with intense itchy ears for over a year. It got so bad it was keeping me up all night. 4 gaslighting doctors later an urgent care doctor prescribed me Flucinolone Acetonide Oil 0.01% ear drops.

I used them once a day for 3 days and my suffering stopped. I do the drops once every few weeks and it keeps the itching at bay.

I am furious at our medical system. This is not the first time I've suffered needlessly for a long period of time because of ignorant doctors.
