The insertion of a hearing aid which had a thin transparent plastic tube into my ear caused eczema in my ear. The itching deep in my ear drove me to distraction for 6 years - until my hairdresser suggested putting Eumovate into the ear.The itching stopped 2 days after putting it into my ear.
Subsequently I was advised by a hospital consultant in ENT to use Betnovate Scalp Application as that would give better coverage because it is liquid whereas Eumovate is a cream.
Eumovate is the strongest antibiotic sold without a doctor's prescription. My doctor was happy to give me one.
