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 can drive a person crazy. It can be the first sign of an infection, but if the problem is chronic, it is more likely caused by a chronic dermatitis of the ear canal. Seborrheic dermatitis and eczema can both affect the ear canal. There is really no cure for this problem, but it can be made tolerable with the use of steroid drops and creams.
