Frequent ear pulling is a kind of stimulation to the skin in the ear canal, which is easy to cause hair follicle infection. The correct way is: soak the cotton swab in warm water, squeeze it out slightly, put it in the external auditory canal and gently rotate it in one direction, and then take out the earwax after soaking and softening. I don't know if you have this feeling: after the ear is pulled out, you will soon feel that there is a foreign body inside. Although you clean the ear canal from time to time, you still feel itchy, as if you haven't cleaned it. Liu Shuchun, director of the Department of Otolaryngology, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that frequent ear plucking is a kind of stimulation and easy for the skin in the ear canal. Especially in summer, due to excessive sweating and wet ears, the chance of infection is greater. Therefore, it is generally not necessary to pick your ears often. If you have formed a habit, you will feel itchy if you don't pick it out. You'd better control or use less boric acid alcohol. After a while, you will no longer have the consciousness of picking out your ears, and you will not feel itchy inside your ears. However, for people with exuberant gland secretion and oily ears, earwax is produced quickly, and it is difficult to excrete it by itself, resulting in itching and blockage. At this time, it is necessary to manually clean the ear canal from time to time, and sometimes it is necessary to ask a professional doctor to use special equipment to complete it. When you handle it yourself, the correct way is to soak the cotton swab in warm water, squeeze it out slightly, put it in the external auditory canal and gently rotate it in one direction, and then bring out the wax bubbles after they are wet and soaked. You can also use this method to soften the wax bubbles first, and then gently take them out with a special ear spoon. Hard earwax needs to be removed by a doctor.
