I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with ear psoriasis. Here are some key points from the knowledge base that might help:

- Symptoms: Psoriasis in the ears can lead to painful, itchy, discolored, dry, or scaly skin. It can also cause temporary hearing loss due to the buildup of plaques and scales blocking the ear canal.

- Treatment Options:
- Topical Treatments: These include corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, and vitamin D creams like calcipotriene (Dovonex).
- Moisturizers: Over-the-counter moisturizers free of alcohol, artificial preservatives, and fragrances can help. Ingredients like salicylic acid, coal tar, colloidal oatmeal, or petrolatum can be beneficial.
- Systemic Treatments: Oral or systemic corticosteroids and biologics that block proteins and immune cells involved in psoriasis development.
- Removal of Buildup: It's important to have a dermatologist remove the excess tissue to reduce temporary hearing loss. Attempting to do this yourself can increase the risk of eardrum damage and infection.

- Causes: Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the skin, causing overactive skin cell production and buildup.

- Management: Consult with your dermatology clinician for personalized medical advice and treatment options.
