Excessive generation of wax in left ear
Old case of treated scalp psoriasis, started excessive wax generation in left ear since 7-8 yrs back. While periodic clinical ear cleanings, doctor advised antibiotics but no improvement. In addition developed TM perforation. Exhausted left doctor visit. Last year one doctor told- there is no perforation, but wax formation is continuing... I don't feel any pain in ear or headache, no any specific problem.
Kindly advise the solution/ treatment.
Thanking you,
Psoriasis with external otitis is a difficult problem to cure, as there are multiple factors causing it. One needs to primarily see a dermatologist for it. Ears have to be periodically cleared & appropriate drops used based on situation. Triggers identified & avoided, guided by the derma doctor.
Next Steps
Always combine ENT & Dermatologist for complete management.
Health Tips
Avoid using harsh creams, probing with ear buds, risking damage to canal & eardrum.
