I scratched the inside of my ear with my finger nail. It lat I scratched the inside of my ear with my finger nail. It later scabbed up a bit, but it seems like a lot of scabbing. I pulled some of it out and my ear has like a liquid discharge in it occasionally now. The discharge has a bad smell. The wax mixes with the discharge and scabs up too much, so the process has went on for about a month. Do I need to go visit a ear/nose/throat doc to get this cleared up, or is this something I can take care of myself. I have no pain, and no hearing loss. I just have a discharge, especially at night.
