However, I inadvertently discovered another use for it. I have had a bout of recurring patches of dry, itchy skin on and around my ears for some time that did not respond to moisturizers. My doctor said there was no infection or other condition needing medication and said it "just looked dry." The itching was driving me nuts some days, and moisturizers, oils, Vaseline etc. had no effect on the itching. My doctor suggested that dandruff shampoo might work and it did, but the effect tended to wear off before the day was finished so my skin would start to itch and flake again. In desperation I noticed that this gel also had salicylic acid like my dandruff shampoo so I tried using a small dab on the affected area and it worked like a charm. The itching went away immediately, the gel had a cooling effect, and over the course of a few weeks of using the dandruff shampoo and this gel in between, the problem has really diminished. I don't know if it will work for all people and would suggest you talk to your doctor if you have a similar condition, but I'm so thrilled to find something that works in between the daily shampoos, I'm about to buy a few more bottles of this awesome product.
