[Other Information in the Package Insert] What is recurring ear itching?
The skin inside the ear is sensitive to external stimuli. When ear picking or wearing earphones irritates it and worsens the inflammation, it causes recurring itching.
To treat persistent itching, it is important to avoid irritating actions such as ear picking and to firmly calm the itching and inflammation.

Treatment Tips
●Avoid irritation
Ear picking and wearing earphones irritate the ears and worsen inflammation and itching.
●Use an appropriate amount divided over several applications. Applying a large amount all at once does not increase the effect.
●Gradually reduce use
As symptoms improve, gradually reduce the number of applications.

- Do not use on areas without symptoms.
- If symptoms are hard to cure, or if symptoms keep coming back chronically, we recommend consulting a doctor.
