Hello,

Damaging the ear canal can be done quite easily when you use a bud. The ear canal can turn and isn't completely straight. Also, the ear canal is quite fragile and will bleed easily.

Luckily, the ear canal will heal just like any other part of your body. If you leave the area alone, it will form a scab and the skin underneath will heal. Any other symptoms you may have should improve as well.

In the future, I would recommend not using buds to clean your ears. There are some ear wax kits you can buy. In the US, I recommend "Mack's ProRinse Ear Wax Kit". It's quite safe and can still help clean excessive wax from your ears.

Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Timothy Wong
