White pus-like stuff deep in the ear may be related to fungal otitis externa, chronic suppurative otitis media, and ruptured sebaceous cysts in the external auditory canal.
1. Fungal otitis externa: fungal infections such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus, etc. in the external auditory canal can form clumps and plaques deep in the ear canal, and when they stimulate the inflammatory ooze of the external auditory canal, it is common to see yellow and white pus-like secretions accumulating on the wall of the external auditory canal and the surface of the tympanic membrane.
2. Chronic suppurative otitis media: the middle ear secretes pus, which flows from the perforation of the eardrum to the external auditory canal and accumulates in the depth of the external auditory canal to see the white pus-like stuff, which is mostly caused by the decline of body resistance and bacterial infection.
3. Ruptured sebaceous cyst of the external auditory canal: After the sebaceous gland gland ducts growing on the skin surface of the external auditory canal are blocked, retention cysts can be formed due to the obstruction of the excretion of the secretion of the gland ducts. The inner capsule is a collection of sebum and epidermal keratinized material in the form of oil-like “scum”. If the cyst swells and ruptures, white pus-like material can be found in the deeper part of the ear when the cyst flows into the ear.
When there is white pus deep in the ear, you should consult a doctor for a systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause of the disease, and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment.
