Daniel,Lots of possibilities including coincidence. Sounds like it might be fungal. Especially what you're describing behind the ear. Think of dandruff below the hair line.It's easy and pretty innocuous to check out. Try a little clotrimazole cream in one area. If that's the problem you should see substantial improvement in a day or two.For the scalp (and other areas) an anti-dandruff shampoo with selenium sulfide can be much more effective than the zinc versions. (1% OTC vesions include Head & Shoulders Intensive Care, Selsen Blue. 2% versions are prescription. Despite all the commercials about "dry scalp" dandruff is a fungal infection.)Patrick
