Our ears reveal our true state of health

Liquid earwax

Liquid earwax, or discharge from the ear, often illustrates an infection such as otitis. However, a violent shock can be the cause of this flow. Among these shocks, we find head trauma, a medical emergency. In any case, consult a healthcare professional promptly.

Dry earwax

Dry earwax can illustrate dryness of the ear canal, caused by eczema, a lack of earwax production, psoriasis, allergies or even chickenpox. It is therefore necessary to determine the exact cause in order to treat the pathology.

Please note that cotton swabs should only be used to clean the external part of the ear. Otherwise, they will have the effect of pushing the earwax towards the inside of the ear, which creates a blockage and leads to secondary infection.
