“Tiny ears, infected after impacted?”
I figured my ear would deal with it naturally and to leave it alone since it felt much better after removing the wax. However it didn’t feel as good as my left ear, the drum didn’t look the same, it still felt dull and under slight pressure and there would be random moments of pain that would quickly pass. I left it alone from June 7th to June 18. Today June 19th I had some weird pain that lasted a little longer and I decided to look. It looked like there was cotton or mold growing from my eardrum! I contacted A PCP who said it might be “a keratin pearl” but I think she’s wrong. It looks nothing like that.
After she told me that I decided to just flush it with hydrogen peroxide again. I did that and It washed out all the “mold” looking bits. it feels a bit better but now it looks sore and odd. What is this? Is it an infection? Should I go to an end? Can I treat this at home? I don’t know if I’ve had this before as this is the first year I’ve been able to see inside my ears. what do you think? The photos should be In chronological order
