Does anyone else have problems with their inner ears itching or having re-occurring ear aches? Just wondering if anyone else has experience with this?

I have had SEVERELY itchy ears on and off for years. Everytime I have been on steriods to treat my flare ups it goes away completely. Im thinking its a lupus rash in my ear now. Im newly diagnosed since April. The itchiness started with all other symptoms years ago. I'm gonna talk to my rheumatologist about it next time I go in.

I did and my ENT Dr. found tumors on my Parotid gland, had them removed and still have the same problems 🙄🙄

Me too!!! This started for me a long time before I was diagnosed and now I’m wondering if it’s all related.

I have intermittent stabbing pain in my right ear it seems to coincide with episodes of sore throat so I’m guessing it’s linked. ENT didn’t find anything concerning however. I hope you find some relief and answers soon 🙏🏼💜
