Actually, taking that many showers could do more harm than good. Your body produces natural combatants to get rid of acne, and excessive bathing can get lessen your natural ability to fight acne and other skin problems. But how old are you? If you're a teenager, maybe you just have lots of oil in your pores right now ... It will probably go away on its own. But to the person who said blackheads don't appear in your ears, yes they do. You can also get regular pimples in your ear. They suck because they are painful.

some of us have deeper pores than others! So even though we wash thouroughly they still become clogged. There is a device you can buy from CVS or Walgreens that remove blackheads. Fairly cheap and good to have! You may want to put a hot rag on it to open it up first! Good luck!

You take too many showers. You waste water. By the way....I bet that is a small harmless mole. Many people have those. I have never heard of a blackhead in the ear. Black heads don't for there.

They are probably blackheads, and you'll get them no matter how clean you are. The best way to get rid of them is to get a blackhead curette (you can get one at any pharmacy), and push them out, don't squeeze (or a dermatologist can remove them, too). Then wash with a cleaner that contains Benzoil Peroxide to prevent future breakouts.

blackheads are merely clogged pores which have gotten "dirty" on the top. They will pop out if they are gently squeezed, and there is even a little tool that the drugstores sell to remove them. (blackhead remover)
They're not unusual at all

Black heads are clogged pores. It has less to do with hygiene and more to do with finding all areas in the ear. Hard to see in there.

It doesn't have to be a black head. It could be a small birth mark or mole. I don't think you get blackheads in your ears.

It might just be simple as it just happened. It will go away in a day or two if it is a blackhead
