Treating Ear Psoriasis

Ear psoriasis is quite common among those suffering with psoriasis and occurs in approximately 18 percent of all psoriasis sufferers. Dry scales or scaly patches in the ear canal are often diagnosed as a form of psoriasis. Psoriasis in the ears may result buildup of scales that blocks the ear canal. This scaling can cause a blockage of the external ear canal resulting in temporary hearing loss. Ear psoriasis is normally limited to the area of the external surface of the ear canal, and is usually not seen inside the ear itself or behind the eardrum. Ear psoriasis may also occur behind the ear. The symptoms of ear psoriasis include dryness of the skin in the ear, with some scaling.

Treatment of ear psoriasis may include gentle cleansing of the ear area, which can be accomplished using basic over-the-counter ear-cleaning kits. Plain warm water, followed by a thin layer of mineral or jojoba oil which is applied with a cotton swab to the outer area of the ear brings relief to many psoriasis sufferers. Wearing wax earplugs when sleeping has been effective for some in keeping the affected ear canal from drying out and thus reducing the severity of ear psoriasis. Another solution is to apply Psoriasis-Ltd to the outer surface of the ear. This product has been found to improve the appearance of scales, redness and irritation resulting from psoriasis of the ear.
