I have itching in my ear, and it looked like my eardrum is damaged in the otoscope. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I had a detailed look at the otoscopic picture of your eardrum (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). There is absolutely no defect, perforation, or hole in the eardrum, and it is absolutely intact. The area which you are referring to is actually a layer of the skin that is shedding off and will disappear slowly. The itching in the ear could be due to recurrent use of earbuds to clean the canal, and hence it has to be completely avoided. I do not see any major issue out there, and hence there is absolutely nothing that you need to worry about. I hope this was helpful.
