10 Causes of Itchy Ears
Cause #5: Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a condition where there are patches of abnormal skin due to an autoimmune issue. The affected skin is dry, red, itchy, and scaly. Severity depends on the area of skin affected. It can range from small and localized patches to complete coverage.
Psoriasis can be divided into five main types known as guttate, plaque, erythrodermic, pustular, and inverse. The commonest type, which makes up about 90 percent of cases, is plaque psoriasis. Since psoriasis affects the skin, it can also involve the skin of the ears, therefore causing itchy ears.
