A dry and itchy ear canal can often be soothed with gentle, non-irritating options besides Neosporin-H, especially since that contains antibiotics and steroids meant for infections. You might try applying a few drops of mineral oil, baby oil, or olive oil to moisturize and relieve dryness. Avoid inserting anything into the ear canal that could cause further irritation.

• Use a clean dropper to apply 2-3 drops of warm (not hot) olive oil or mineral oil once or twice daily.
• Keep the ear dry and avoid water exposure during bathing or swimming.
• Avoid using cotton swabs or scratching inside the ear canal.

If symptoms persist, worsen, or you notice pain, discharge, or hearing changes, please consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment. If you want, I can explain how to safely apply these oils or discuss other treatment options.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
