To help CPR practitioners to remember the order of the procedural steps, the acronym ABC was taught to stand for Airway, Breathing, Circulation. In 2010, the order of the steps was changed to Circulation, Airway, Breathing, so the acronym is now CAB.
Dry Skin. When your ears donât produce the right amount of ear wax, the skin in your ear canal is unprotected. This can lead to dry skin in your ear canal. Dry skin can be VERY itchy, especially if/when it starts to flake. A lack of ear wax may be the reason you have an itchy inner ear. Otitis media and otitis externa (swimmerâs ear) are two common ear infections that may be the cause of your itchy ears.
Itchy ears are a very common problem. For some people the problem is so bad that they stick various objects into the ears, causing trauma to the ear canal. The most common causes of itching are a nervous habit, fungal infection or the beginning of an infection. Other causes can be skin diseases such as psoriasis or dermatitis. Some people with allergies complain of Itchy ears. The ear canal may be normal on examination or there may be scaling of the skin. People aggravate the problem by using things such as bobby-pins, coat hangers and tooth picks to scratch the ear.
