Many people occasionally experience a problem such as flaking in the ears or flaking of the skin on the shell of the ear. In some, this happens for one reason, in others for a completely different reason, but there are four reasons for flaking the skin of the ears. Let's take a closer look at each of them, as well as some types of treatment for peeling the skin behind the ears.
First reason
The most common and common cause of peeling of the skin behind the ears is the use of a large number of sweets or, to use a medical term, diathesis. In this case, peeling in the ears is a common allergic reaction of the body to an excess of sugar in the blood and tissues in general. Peeling may be accompanied by redness and severe itching. If the allergy persists within twenty-four hours, you can drink the drug "Fenistil" or "Suprastin." You can also drink "Tavegil", it is also anti-allergic.
Second reason
An allergic reaction to the sun is the rarest, of all the above, the cause of peeling of the skin in the ears. In this case, peeling is difficult to completely get rid of, it can be accompanied by severe itching, chills and even fever. To treat allergies to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, you need to do the following: daily apply anti-allergenic ointment to the affected areas (moreover, smear it in the morning and evening), drink βFenistilβ one tablet two to three times a day, and try to cover yourself from the sun as much as it seems possible. It is advisable for girls to wear a hat with wide brim so that it covers not only the face, but also the shoulders, as women's skin is much softer than men's and more sensitive to all kinds of lesions.
Reason three
If you started peeling skin behind your ear, and most recently you dyed your hair, permed hair or cut your hair short, this may be the result of your hair experiments. At the place of peeling, a burn will be visible, which is quite painful and itchy. In this case, you will need to consult a doctor, since only a specialist can correctly choose the treatment for such chemical burns from hair dyeing. Most likely, you will be prescribed a two-week course of treatment, in which at least one or two ointments, from one to three types of tablets, as well as anti-allergenic drops, will be present. If the reception is regular and in accordance with the recipe, then peeling in the ears and after them will pass in three to four days, and after a week there will be no trace of it.
Reason four
If your skin flakes behind your ears, itches or turns red after you wash your hair, then you should try changing the shampoo, since any components of the cosmetic product used may irritate the skin. If after you changed the shampoo, peeling in the ears and behind the ears ceased to bother, then you just had an allergy to the shampoo. If everything is unchanged, then immediately you need to contact a dermatologist or allergist, you will do several tests and prescribe treatment. The course of treatment depends on the cause of the appearance of peeling and can last from five days to six months.
If you have peeling in your ears or behind them, but none of the above reasons is, so to speak, yours, then it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible and get his consultation. Blood will be taken for allergy tests (blood is taken from a vein, and samples are taken with various allergens that can cause peeling of the skin). In addition, you can give good advice: wash the skin behind the ear and ears with baby soap more often, and girls and women should periodically pull out the earrings and wash the holes with alcohol.
