You have an itch in your ear, what do you do?

Scratch it gently and if it doesn't go away I resist the urge and stop scratching altogether. But hey if it persists more than 1-2 days then better to see a doc ~

Clean it with cotton buds... usually, it's the liquid from inside my ears that causes them to itch.

Eliminate the source of the problem by cutting off the ear

Take a steel bristled brush and vigorously go to town!
