Ears-my ears itch!  I've heard maybe parasites?  Would that help?  Would I just take it internally?
My ds's skin-when we go somewhere and he gets spots from being around/touching an allergen (presumably dairy), would I just put some of the clay on the spots?
My dh's toenails-my dh has really disgusting yellow toenails, could he put some on them?
Are there directions for how much to take internally?  Like for my ds?  I know I have more, but that's all I can think of for now.  Sorry to be obnoxious. 
I dont think its obnoxious 
And yes to all the above.
Your ears you can take it internally and if its parasites it will clear it up faster if you take the detox amount rather than the cleanse amount.
My eczema on my face sometimes goes into my ears. I put the clay all over my face and on my ears. Not inside the canal or anything but just like I would with soap if I was washing my face/ears.
And your sons contact dermatitis would be soothed by either way you apply it. My dd had it as a diaper rash and I just applied it like a very thin watery talc. Cleared it right up. My son got it around his mouth and I just rubbed some on like a dry talc and that also worked. When I got the dermatitis that leaves red rings I actually use it as a thick paste, let it dry, then rinse off. But for light irritation like you would see similar to a bug bite you dont need a paste, just calamine lotion consistency.
And for your dh's nails. A while back I started a thread about my dh's nails. I would swab apple cider vinegar on his nails at night and let them dry. It worked really good but I bet you could make a paste with the clay and acv and get even better results!
Eta:you should probably ask the place where you get yours from about the amounts. I dont know if it is a general ratio for all bentonite clay or not. I just know about the particular one I use.
