my ear itches...... cant i disregard my moms orders to NEVER STICK A QTIP IN YOUR EAR! rule?

wait..i live in the south...............Wheres my car keys?

ever have an itch that you just couldnt scratch?

Take a Q tip and put something like Carmex, Burt's Bees lip balm or something with peppermint in it and gently and very shallowly massage it into the skin in your ear canal. The mint will stop the itch. Meanwhile, if you have something for allergies, it wouldn't hurt to take it. I keep homeopathic allergy tabs or drops around at all times, I chew up a tab or take some drops under the tongue. I repeat that every few minutes until the itch stops.

yeah, I've had that itch. Had tubes put in my ears twice as a kid. They said it would subside as an adult....the devistating screaming ear aches did but the regular old itching ear infections are still with me.

Go ahead and stick the QTip in....how much damage could it do?

I hate it when I get an inch deep inside my ear where nothing can reach it!!!!

Treat it as if it is an allergy, Elsie, that just might help.

Once, my brother in law had the tip of a Q-tip disappear into his is ear. He wasn't sure if it really came off the tip or there never was one on there to begin with and he just didn't notice before he stuck it in his ear. Well, about a week later his ear started hurting. He went to the doctor and the doc had to fish the tip out of his ear (it was in pretty deep!)

I am not sure if the lesson is to never buy cheap Q-tips or to never stick Q-tips in your ear!

Dip the qtip into some rubbing alcohol, just don't go too far in.
