I noticed that the inside of my ears are very dry and flaky. I usually clean my ears using cotton buds after a bath. Please advise.

Don't clean your ears very frequently because its a natural phenomenon to have wax in a ear, which protects your ear from dust, infections and naturally also from dryness. Its a natural lubricant for your ear which you clean up frequently. Don't clean your ears by yourself, consult an ent for that. He will advice you what should you do for your ear dryness and when should you clean your ears and should do it yourself or not if yes then how.
