Each morning when I clean my ears, there is a dark smelly wax and them later dry flakes in my ear ..yuk yuk and yuk gross...I clean my ears I do not care about the q tip warming ..I like clean ears .now mine are more dirty than those whomo not clean them!!! My dr looked mynearvand said they look fine, no redness. Hello., am I imagining this?? The wax smells yeasty. It is in my bad menier ear too.
Can you take the swab to your Dr.? Maybe he/she can test them for bacteria or infection? Not sure if this is possible but just putting it out there. Go easy on those Qtips!
