First off...typing in all capital letters implies you are shouting at the reader and lacks electronic etiquette. Try contacting a neurologist.
I have the same problem exactly. When the ear crusts up which is a couple times a day I peel it off because I can't stand the way it looks. Then it starts all over again. It started almost 30 yrs ago but it was only once in awhile now it's every day and it's driving me crazy! I just bought proriasis cream and started using that but it's not helping either.
Don't feel bad I had this for over 20years just like you every nite it gets worse it's just some fluid from brain they said nothing we can do I just sleep with tips to deal with excess liquid from the ear
I have had ear drainage for years. For so many years that I've lost count. It's clear. It doesn't hurt. Doesn't itch but tickles when running out of my ear. After I drink a carbonated beverage it just drains like crazy. It's always leaking at night and I can feel it trickle out of my ear. I have bad allergies and some sinus issues and that's the only thing I can relate this to. I ha e seen a ENT and they said that my ears look great. That's good, but still no answers. The Dr even looked at me weird when I mentioned my issue. I use q tips every single day, otherwise it would drive me up the wall. It's annoying and I want answers. It's great reading other people's issues, although not great for the problem at hand, but at least I'm not losing my mjnd.
Have to recover the issueof your ear?
My ear gets dry specially in the morning ..the fluid comes out of my ears how to cure this please im really annoyed n tired with this!
EXACT same thing with me...you just described me to a T .... I don't think anybody has a clue why this happens...I'm 51 so I figured its an age thing...the only thing that releives my itching is I take a qtip .dip it in a solution of 50% alcool and 50% vinegar... it dries it out so I'm good for 3 or 4 days at a time
I am always trying new methods to minimize the discomfort of this. Whatever runs out crystallizes on the outer ear, as you know. I just started using some kind of natural cream (no petrolatum products) on the outer ear, and put a little lambs wool in my ears at night. The lambs wool doesn't feel stuffy like cotton, nor does it stick to the insides. I find my ears smoother in the morning.
This may be a yeast problem, or possibly psoriasis, yeast and psoriasis both cause those effects, wentness then drying and like you said kind of crystallizing and then when you remove it gets wet again, the reason being is your exposing raw skin again therefore it starts to get wet again and starts to produce more fluid like an open wound.
If you consume sugar wheather it’s a lot or a little that can make yeast or psoriasis flair up if you body is reacting to it I use to get this on the back of my neck, in my ears and on my eyelids, I started using hydrocortisone cream which is an anti itch but also helps with skin conditions I put it on my eyes every night before bed like a lotion and for my ears and back of my neck I have found the most effective is using shampoo with Tar in it, it’s psoriasis shampoo and it contains tar I know it sounds weird but it works really good, since I started using that I have had no issues anymore, I don’t even directly put it in my ears but when it’s in my hair and lathered I let it fall in and around my ears and rinse as normal. Might be something to try???

Good info ,Thanks
Due To Allergy. Take benadyrl or Claritin
btw i stopped using my headphones and my problem went almost completely away
Me too!!! God please help. Doctors always give me the a-okay, but it's not!!! IT'S NOT OKAY! Idk what to do or who to see! It started happening to both of my ears 5 or so years ago. I got Swimmer's Ear in both of them. I went to the doctor, got some ear drops and took antibiotics. Swimmer's Ear went away. Maybe a few months after my ears began leaking. I freaked out because I hate Swimmer's Ear. It is SO painful. It keeps me up, I'm constantly in pain, unable to hear, and sometimes I wouldn't be able to chew. I waited a few for it to begin swelling and it didn't. It didn't hurt. I took a Qtip and dried it out because the trickling made it itch. If I leave it, it drops out of my ear and whenever I lie down on my side it makes a squeaking sound due to wetness. Once I dry it out with a Qtip, it continues maybe a few minutes after. I typically put pulled pieces of cotton balls to catch it.... It comes out smelling odd. Sometimes bad, sometimes decent. Sometimes it doesn't pour as often so I leave it and it crusts up. The crustiness is annoying, so I pick it away and it starts pouring more! It's not like I dig deep inside! I just pick where my index finger reaches. (Female, so smaller fingers can go further I guess) Please... If anyone else has had this problem...TELL ME WHAT YOU DID!!!!! PLEASE. I'm going mad! I can't do this. My boyfriend and my family all question my Qtip usage. They all have different opinions, but all of them are wrong! HELP. I'm begging! My doctors aren't helping me and I can't afford to go doctor to doctor! :( :( :( Please...
It sounds like you have overactive apocrine glands in your ears. They are sweat glands we have in our ears. The crustiness could possibly be from overusing Q-tips which irritates the skin. Your ears might need a break to get back into a natural pace with their wax. If your ear leaks watery material, let it leak out and just wipe it away with tissues. Don't force it back into the canal with a Q-tip. If it is colored (green/yellow) and smells bad, you may have an infection and DO need to see an ENT doctor! You need to see the ENT doctor regardless if this problem is bothering you so much.
