Ear itching is a tickling, irritating sensation accompanied by the persistent need to scratch your ear. Redness, swelling, soreness, flaking and scarring may occur in the area of itchiness. The medical term for itchiness is pruritus. Although scratching may temporarily relieve your symptoms, it can cause more irritation or lead to an infection. With most cases of itching, it is best to refrain from scratching and leave the area alone to heal. Itching can be a symptom of ear infection. A common ear infection is otitis externa, commonly known as swimmerâs ear, which can occur when moisture remains in the ear after swimming or other exposure to water. Other possible causes of ear itching include insect bites, contact allergies, and trauma.
Cats dig at their ears when their ears itch. Head shaking is another sign of itchy ears. Any time a cat really digs into her ears, I become concerned about the risk of an ear infection, ear mites, or a foreign object (such as a foxtail) in the ear. If your vet has checked the ears recently and given them a clean bill of health, then these issues shouldnât be playing a role in the scratching and shaking.
