Hi, I am Dr Sonia S V. I am an ENT Surgeon & Head & Neck Specialist. Some amount of wax forms in everybody. Avoid using ear buds. If you are experiencing pain or excess ear discomfort it may be better to have yourself evaluated by an ENT Doctor in your locality otherwise it is ok to have some wax come out.
All the best
