What s wrong with blackening inside your ears? What is the reason for the black stuff behind the ear

There is a black substance in the ear, and there are two possibilities: 1. Cerumen in the external auditory canal; 2. Fungal infection of the external auditory canal. Cerumen in the external auditory canal is caused by abnormal secretion of cerumen glands in the cartilage part of the external auditory canal, which can cause hearing loss and tinnitus.

When cerumen swells when exposed to water, it can cause ear swelling and pain. On examination, a black-brown mass of mass material may be seen deep in the external auditory canal, which is hard to the touch. On the **, this kind of cerumen should not be taken out at home, it needs to be locally soaked with sesame oil and sodium bicarbonate, softened after about five days, and then taken out directly with a suction device or cerumen hook in the hospital to heal.

Fungal infections of the external auditory canal are repeated ear plucking, resulting in mucosal damage; Fungal infections of the external auditory canal can be caused by repeated water ingestion, which can cause ear itching, ear pain, hearing loss, tinnitus, and black hyphae in the external auditory canal, sometimes in the form of clumps. On **, mycosis of the external auditory canal can be treated topically with Daknin cream, fluconazole injection, twice a day, and can be cured in about ten days.

The blackening of the ears is first thought to be caused by cerurum. Cerumen is secreted by the cerumen gland of the external auditory canal**, which has the ability to protect the external auditory canal** and prevent foreign bodies from entering such as dust and insects. When cerumen secretion in the external auditory canal is excessive or the discharge is blocked, cerumen gathers in the external auditory canal and forms a black-brown mass with dust from the outside world.

When the external auditory canal is infected with a fungus, a fungal mass may form, which may also be black. Cholesteatoma formed by repeated infections of chronic otitis media and long-term purulent discharge will also be black. Melanocytic nevi and malignant melanoma in the external auditory canal are black.

Hello! There are many reasons for the blackening of the ear, acute and chronic otitis media will have pigmentation due to infection, the appearance of ear blackening, and the blackening of the ear will also occur due to poor circulation, so it is best to take the hospital for examination.

The main reason for the blackening of the ears is the accumulation of dirt, which is not removed and cleaned in time.

1. Accumulation of black secretions caused by benign tumors

The black stuff growing behind the ears may be due to the normal secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, but due to some reasons, such as incomplete cleaning, excessive cleaning, etc., the ** pores behind the ears may be blocked due to excessive secretions, resulting in the formation of black discharge accumulation.

Fortunately, this black discharge is basically a benign tumor, and if the ear hygiene is cleaned and maintained regularly, it is usually not a serious problem. If you don't clean it, you may be more likely to come into contact with ear infections or simple pyogenic infections.

2. Black things caused by pathological causes

In some rare cases, the black stuff behind the ear may be due to pathological causes. This may be the formation of some specific forms of cancer or scabs, and for these conditions, we recommend seeking medical attention early for better** results. Otherwise, it can worsen and lead to other, more serious complications.

3. Wear the earfinch ring for too long

In addition, the black stuff growing out of the back of the ear may also be related to wearing earrings for too long. If a woman wears earrings for a long time, although the earrings are beautiful, they will scratch the ** behind the ear, so that the secretions of sweat and sebaceous glands accumulate at the scratches and form a black discharge. At this time, everyone is also reminded to clean the earrings in time and rest regularly so as not to allow the scratched area to accumulate secretions again.

4. The influence of external factors

The black stuff that grows on the back of the ear can also be caused by external damaging factors. For example, if a person does not dry their ears carefully after taking a bath, the Bluetooth headset triggers the fluorescence enhancement of the local area of the ear**, causing black bacteria to multiply rationally under the epidermis, which will still cause black things to grow behind the ears over time.
