I need to find a remedy for my itching ears, and they smell so bad. I can rub behind my ears and my fingers smell like a bad, bad odor from rubbing them. Is there anything that can be done about this problem.

Hi! The itching and smelling of the outer skin around ears is caused by inflammation or infection of the skin in most cases. The condition is called otitis externa. It could be acute and chronic. Chronic otitis externa tends to show in intervals. The causes could be bacterial infection or yeast. If you go swimming often, you are then more prone to the condition or if you suffer from skin diseases like eczema or psoriasis.
You should see an ophthalmologist and try to get this treated. The treatment would depend on the cause of course and if there was only inflammation or infection as well. If you have any kind of draining, it will be cleared and you may be given antibiotics or corticosteroids.
See a doc as soon as possible to make sure what it is you have.
