White thing in ear
I have been learning swimming from about 10 days now. I use ear plugs when I water and today I observed a white layer in the ear. Its not a secretion that is dripping out. But stuck there.
I tend to take out the plugs sometimes when I'm in water, and I see white particles stuck on it.
Attaching a photo that shows what the white lining looks like. Is it skin coming out due to wear and tear? Or something else?
There is no pain as such around it.
