I Have This Zit In My Ear Canal

[Bruce Wayne]

At least I'm fairly sure it is a zit. I don't have anyone who can look, let alone pop it. It is making it hard to hear out of my right ear.

Any suggestions?

Thanx!!!

Go to the doctor (??) Maybe take some rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and swab it out and see if you feel any relieve in a few days. If not, see my first comment.

I don't have any insurance otherwise I would of gone to the Dr.

I'd have it checked out by a doctor - just in case it's an abscess or something more serious. You don't want to mess around with a serious infection close to your ear/brain. Even if you don't have insurance, I'd bite the bullet and do it - is there a community clinic, etc., you could go to?

Nice avatar BTW.

I'm not a doctor, just someone who tries my best to avoid them. If it was me, I'd probably try a warm/hot compress (washcloth) and an astringent like Sea Breeze (or even witch hazel) for a couple of days before calling a doctor.

Uh...not to be one who tells another what to do or not if it has no direct affect on me or mine, but.....

Although this is an internet forum focused on shaving, ink pens, coffee, cooking, shooting, and myriad other topics, it is not, in my opinion, the premier site to seek medical advice.

Maybe Web MD???

I would try some witch hazel. I get pimples on my head after shaving and WH seems to take them down pretty quickly.
