Do you live where it gets cold!? I know I ALWAYS get dry skin in the Winter!. (Due to all the "heat" being turned on!.!.!.) Your ears are very susceptible to wind & sun, both of which will "dry" them!. So even if you are in a warmer climate it could be that your ears are just a good 'target'!
"Penatin" & "Zincofax" are great for dry skin!!!!
You WILL find them in the 'baby section'!.!.!.!.my kids have said "I don't want to use diaper-rash stuff!" but IT WORKS!!! We all use it regularly!
In fact I just used it a couple minutes ago on my chapped lips!
It's a good idea to use it as a preventative/protective measure as well (Hence the "baby section"!.!.!.)
Sun-block is always a good idea too!
Good luck!

P!.S!. -You can buy the "no-name" brands as they are always less money!. The main ingredient in them all is "zinc-oxide"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have a skin condition which causes me to have quite alot of dry skin and really bad dandruff which is reallllly annoying !

Use like E45 or vaseline to get rid of the dry skin or if you wash you hair with Head & shoulders just rub a bit on the dry skin and wash it off that might help!. haha!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

eucerin lotion is very good for dry skin!. it's very thick, and moisturizing!. you may have a rash though, so calamine lotion too!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

moisturiser works for me, failing that try calomine lotion, but not if going out as it leaves a dry flaky residueWww@Answer-Health@Com

Fungus!? Don't wash pillowcases with the bathroom rug!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try E45 creamWww@Answer-Health@Com
