However, it is not advisable to pick out your ears with cotton swabs. Generally speaking, earwax is a mixture of earwax and dead skin cells, which is produced by sebaceous glands in the body to keep your ear skin moist. Your ear canal is the same as the skin of other parts of your body. Although it looks a little incredible, your ear can excrete wax by itself, and it has the ability of self-cleaning.

Therefore, when you put a cotton swab into the ear canal, it will destroy the natural peeling process of the skin, which may actually lead to more earwax in the ear. In addition, in the long run, you may push the wax back into your ear canal, forming a big blockage, and then you must ask a doctor to help you remove it.

In addition, frequent ear swab has the following side effects.

1, frequent ear picking can lead to ear infection.

The cotton on the cotton swab will get stuck in the ear.

In view of this, don't use all other self-righteous ways you can think of to remove earwax. You may not know that some people use hairpins and other temporary tools to remove earwax. Doing so will not only disturb the natural peeling process of the ear, but also block the ear over time. Punching the ear canal with a sharp object may also lead to perforation of the eardrum.

So, put the cotton swab down!
