THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ITCHY EARS. Itchy ears is usually a sign for dry ears. Hydrogen Peroxide dries out ears further, which causes the skin to crack and bacteria to get into the skin. If your ears itch, use cortisporin just outside of the ear canal. The cortisporin will make its way into the ear canal and provide that extra bit of moisture the skin needs. DO NOT REMOVE THE EAR WAX!!! It is good for the ear canal. If you feel like you have an ear infection, go to the doctor.

I had even worse experience with Hydrogen Peroxide. I wet a Q-tip with it and inserted it into my ear due to an ear infection, and I ended up with a hole on my ear drum. My ENT doctor said it will heal up but no, it is still there after two years! The only benefit is you won't feel pain and pressure in your ear if you go deep sea diving! Lol :(
Never attempt Hydrogen Peroxide on your ear. BAD!
Solution? Use ACV instead! It works like a miracle, faster than a prescription drug. I have ear infection often because of that little hole..dip a Q-tip into ACV, squeeze the cotton head gently to rid the excessive fluid. It helps with my itches too.

Something totally opposite than what you experienced. I have been using peroxide and water to sooth the itching and it actually made it worse. I got this tickling and popping in my ear and it felt so good I got hooked on it. So when I pour it in my ear it temporarily scratches it but in the long run it makes my ears so much worse. Now it is like an addiction and it is the cause of my manic severe ear itching and pain. Does anyone have any suggestions for helping me scratch my ear another way?
