Does anyone else experience a constantly flaking and waxing inner ear?

Question

I have an OCD tendancy to constantly finger my inner ear. With this frequent fingering I pick out flakes of my inner ear and a lot of earwax- it is a constant problem. Though at times my finger comes out clean within moment a chunk of wax/flake drops. Gross I know- but just wondering, hey why not?

Answer 1

Excess earwax can be a sign of a poorly functioning liver. Be sure you are eating well and getting your vitamins.

The flakes could be seborrheic dermatitis which is a skin condition often caused by a mild allergy. It tends to occur in your ears, eyebrows, the creases around your nose or scalp. It often goes away for long periods then recurs. The best thing is to keep your skin as clean as you can since it usually happens where your skin gets oily.
