What Causes Black Spots Inside Ear?

As I was cleaning out my two year old s ears with a q-tip after his bath tonight, I noticed he had these two little black spots in his ears. They are not moles and I ve seen blackheads in older people s ears but is it possible for a two year old to have a couple little blackheads in his ears?

dear parent, yes black heads are frequently seen in ears of small children
they tendbto appear when oil and dirt accumulate inside the pores of skin in the ears
you should regularly clean the ears of your child with mild soap and water.. you should make sure you dry the ears after washing
avoid pinching or sneezing of these black heads to avoid infection
