Right inside to that bit when it opens up at the end - my ear itches. If I put my little finger in I can feel the itch at the end.

I know if I could use a pair of sharp curved tweezers I could scratch that itchy bit and reach a level of ecstasy reserved for the gods.

Can I ask my GP to do this carefully? What if I provide tweezers?

I read, recently, that you shouldn’t put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

I get that exact same feeling from the eczema I get in my ears. Some steroid drops usually clear it right up

Be weird to make an appointment just for that.

Yeah, I'm all for people going to the doctor rather than thinking "oh it'll be fine", but this does seem like wasting their time

Tell your GP about your discomfort and ask to see an ENT.

Good idea. With all those little branches and twigs, I'm sure they'd be able to reach.
