Suggest Cure For Itching And Excess Wax In Ear
Lately I have itchy ears and what seems to be excessive wax. At night my ears seem to be draining, they itch, and in the morning I dig out thin white papery pieces. This has been going on for about a month. Every couple of days I use Q-Tips and Hydrogen Peroxide to clean them out.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having otomycosis i.e. fungal infection in ear producing itching and white papery white pieces.
Put some anti-fungal drops for some time.
Keep ears dry and clean.
Do not allow water entering inside external ear while taking shower.
Clean ears with q-tips after shower.
Ok and take care.
