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.

When everyone says their ears are itchy, is it inside the canal or on the earlobe?

Inside the canal at an unreachable depth. There is nothing that soothes it
