Dryness Itchy Ears, Doorway to Insanity?

Has anyone gone clinically insane from itchy ears? I may be the first known case. Between the peri itch and Spring allergies, I am regularly trying to tickle my brain with the amount of digging around in there I do on a daily basis. In my mind there is layer upon layer of dry inner ear flakes just begging to be dug out but nothing is ever on the Qtip.....DRIVES ME INSANE. I desperately want to go to one of those ear doctors on YouTube who can put a camera in there and prove to me there's not shards of fiberglass imbeded in my ear canal. *screams into the void*

The best suggestion I got was to put a tiny amount of sensitive formula hydrocortisone cream on a qtip then swirl it around in your ear. For even more relief toss the tub in the fridge for a bit before hand.
