Earwax from daily ear-pulling is a condition that firstly is mostly caused by prolonged irritation of the external ear canal, resulting in excessive secretion of cerumen glands. The second is that repeatedly digging the ears for a long time leads to an infection in the external ear canal, causing a fungal or bacterial infection that leads to increased secretion. The most common type of infection is fungal infection, which causes itchy and uncomfortable ears and produces a lot of crusts. The crusts can occasionally be dug out on their own, but many crusts are deep in the external ear canal and cannot be cleaned by themselves, resulting in repeated uncomfortable, itchy and stuffy ears. The best way to solve this problem is: 1) don’t dig your ears; 2) don’t get water; 3) go to an ENT to clean up the crusts and apply topical medication such as tretinoin econazole cream.
