A while back there was a post about having an itchy ear.

Well I've been vigorously cleaning my ear after a shower in case it was ear wax build-up.

After doing that Sunday I've been getting blood on the tissue paper. GP said I've perforated my ear drum and I've been prescribed antibiotics.

Bugger.

If your ear itches - get steroid ear drops. I've now got to shower with cotton wool & vaseline in my ear to keep it dry.

Dry and itchy, until it heals.

I'm 40. I'm too old to be this stupid. :(

My Dad always scratched his ears with a car key. Never seemed very wise.

And there was me thinking I was an only child!

Did you also get itchy ears at the age of 27?
