ear eczema

Its nice to know that I'm not the only one diagnosed with this irritating problem. I thought my specialist was having a bad day when she said this. She gave me a prescription for ear drops but said it wouldn't go away completely...this will be a recurring thing. $60.00 for a prescription botttle that expires after 3mos. Does anyone have any other suggestions that has worked for them, other than prescription drops? I would appreciate hearing anything.
