Itching and scaling around the ear and eye could be due to various types of eczemas like seborrhoic eczema, photo eczema or contact eczemas due to other causes. First the diagnosis has to be confirmed clinically by a skin specialist; only then should treatment be started. However, some precautions can be followed before getting treatment done- avoid sun exposure or ultraviolet rays by using a good sun block cream with extra moisturiser.
