What Do White Particles In The Ears Indicate?

hi doctor, Everyday I have white powder texture in the inner part of my ears (around the ears inside). I have tried to wash well my ears but the residue is there all the time. I take it out with my fingers during the day as it aderes as a white crust. It looks like dandruff in the ear.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

it is possible that you may have a fungal infection by the ears. It is possible that this may be treated by using a topical anti fungal medication.

Examples of topical anti fungal medication include miconazole, econazole, ketoconazole, clotrimazole.

It is possible that you may be able to get one of these over the counter.

I hope this helps
