What is the reason for oil in the ears

summary

"Wet ear excrement" is often called "oil ear". Some people's ear glands and sebaceous glands secrete extra much. The brown yellow and oily viscous substances discharged from them have accumulated in the eyes of the external meatus before they are dry. Some even flow out of the ear, and some agglomerate into a ball. These are collectively referred to as soft earwax, commonly known as "oil ear", which is called oily cerumen in medicine. Generally, it is caused by heredity, so there is no need to worry about it. What's the matter with earwax? Let's talk about it and explain the reason for this situation.

What is the reason for oil in the ears

Sometimes it will leave the ear to form a semi solidified state. Some places are called oil ear excrement, and some places are called soft ear excrement.

The second reason: one or two months to clean up, to prevent ear plugs. Fever or heat can easily increase. Less headphones, shampoo is to try to avoid ear water.

Reason 3: it's better to use cotton swab to gently rotate at the mouth of external auditory canal, and then turn the ear downward to let cerumen discharge by itself. Avoid using sharp objects such as nail iron stick ear scoop to dig the ear.
