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,
