(HealthDayNews) -- Do your ears itch? You may be surprised to hear that you could be eating too much chocolate.
If your itch is from seborrheic dermatitis -- a condition that affects your ears the way dandruff does your scalp -- the wax in your ear is dry, flaky and abundant. Patients who have this problem can improve it by not eating foods that aggravate it, advises the Mid-Kansas Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists, a division of Wichita Surgical Specialists.
The offending substances include greasy foods, carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and chocolate.
