netizen asked: Sometimes my ears are itchy, and then I use the earpick to pick out my ears. After a long time of digging, there is no earwax, but it is really itchy. Moreover, I like to pick my ears when I have nothing to do. I find this very comfortable and a bit addictive.
Excuse me, my ears often feel itchy, but I can’t take anything out. What’s going on?
If your ears have such a situation, first rule out whether there is eczema in the external auditory canal, eczema will be accompanied by itching; in addition, you should also check whether there is inflammation of the external auditory canal caused by fungi and bacteria, which is usually extremely itchy at night.
If the above situation is not the case, the reasons for the inexplicable itching of the ears are as follows:
1. Mites in the ears
Are the pillows, pillowcases, sheets, etc. we usually use clean? If they are not clean, mites may enter the ears. The structure inside the ear is relatively complex and tortuous, making it difficult to find mites. If it falls into this category, a doctor is required to diagnose and remove the mites.
If you are a pet owner, you should also pay attention to whether the pet carries mites or other insects.
2. Frequent ear picking
Frequent ear picking will destroy the skin barrier in the ear. In addition, due to addiction to ear picking, the ear's barrier to external dust and other substances will become weaker. It will also destroy the dryness and humidity of the ear canal, causing ear itching.
If you have become a habit of picking out your ear, it is very likely that your ears will form a conditioned reflex . If you don’t pick it out, I will itch it for you.
In fact, earwax is not "waste". It can protect the ears from external invaders and adjust the dryness and humidity in the ears. Moreover, the earwax will be slowly discharged from the ear canal as you jump and chew, so you don't have to worry too much.
Of course, if the earwax is agglomerated and cannot be discharged on its own, you still need to see an otologist for treatment. You must not remove it yourself. The more you remove it, the more the earwax will be pushed inward.
