I think its the weather. Or stress. I currently have eczema in my ears for the first time in my life. Its horrible. I've had it elsewhere before, usually triggered by stress or environmental stuff, but ears suck. Maybe some gentle moisture for your scalp?

Inside your ears? :(

I put some unscented moisturiser yesterday which kinda helped, but not really. I think I need something heavier maybe.

Yep. Inside. Today I have resorted to a low dose cortisone cream and thankfully they feel a lot better. You may need to grease up your skin for a few days.
