Mild discomfort in both ears

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

I am having mild discomfort in my ears recently and sometimes it feels like ear is blocked. I have a habit of using q tips. I moved to Europe for studies 6 months back and my skin on the ears is feeling dry. Recently i felt like my right ear is blocked so i used the ear camera to see and clean it. Since then i am having little discomfort in my right ear and a feeling of fullness but the pain is very less. I have attached photos of both the ears. Does this look good or should I see a doctor?
