first thing you have to know is there is no need to clean your ear as our body has the mechanism for it. please stop using ear buds as there is chance of injury and infection to your ear. as far as your present condition is concerned seems like infection of ear canal skin. use antibiotic and antifungal ear drops. you can consult nearby ENT specialist
