I had an otoplasty 5 days ago and recently suffered from constant, intense itching sensations on my ears. Itching them through the bandages made me worried that I'd ruin my result, and also, itching only provided temporary relief before it was just itching severely again. I found a solution, which was taking a ton of White Petroleum (basically Vaseline) and covering my ears in it with a very thick layer. I did NOT put any in the actual ear canal, though. Are there other methods? Thanks!
