Yes, could be an infection. Have a doctor or nurse take a look at your ears inside with that gizmo.
Some people have too much wax and some have not enough. If you have too much, it will feel sticky as it comes out but I don't think most people feel like it's wet.
If you don't have enough wax, then your ears are unprotected and can get wet inside (from showers, swimming, etc), stay wet, and grow a garden of fungus, bacteria and such. This is called swimmer's ear and there are drops for it.
Really, I wouldn't try any home remedies until I knew for sure what it was. And if infected, take all your antibiotics. Also, ask the doc about prevention, they probably have a brochure with helpful advice.
Live well, do good and love lots and lots
