Wet Behind the Ears!

[Jemisa]

I constantly have a problem behind my ears, they're sore, itchy, they're cracked and weeping, now the doc has given me cream for the condition 'Synalar' and its brilliant and clears up in a couple of days. Then it starts all over again, I seem to be in a constant fight with it. What d'ya think is causing it in the first place? how can I help myself?

jemisa.......do you wear spectacles? nickel rimmed?
Do you wear a hearing aid or ear rings?

[pastafreak]

I would have thought most quality spectacles manufacturers would be using nickle-free metal,...or am I being naive?

[pastafreak]

*nickel*

You may be a "little naive"

Sqad - I may be a little naive?? explain please.
No hearing aid - Never wear earings - Spectacles for reading only but they are nickel free.

jemisa...that "naive" remark was to pasta's post.....not yours.

Have the spectacles got chrome on the arm or rim?

I get this occasionally when I shower quickly and leave traces of shampoo and/or conditioner in the fold behind my ears. Try changing to hypoallergenic hair care products.

mmmm! it may be something like that woolf, I am going to pay more attention to that part in future. Its annoying because I can't have my hair up or tied back.
glasses are plastic sqad,
Thanks for all your sugestions folks. I think then the cure is down to meee.
