Dandruff inside the ear and on the scalp is usually due to fungal growth or a condition like seborrheic dermatitis, and it is not typically spread from one person to another. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid inserting objects into the ear, and use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo for the scalp. If itching or flaking inside the ear persists, consult a doctor for suitable ear drops or cream.
