    How to get rid of spots inside your ear??
    Hai,
    I'm so prone to getting sore spots inside my ear :rolleyes: and I don't mean on the ear bit that you can see, I mean, right down in the ear...
    I don't understand, I keep my earbuds clean, I don't have earwax buildup and I generally try and keep my ears clean at all times.

    Does anyone else get this? what do you do to reduce/get rid of the spots?? Its a very difficult place to get to them:cool:

    Everyone has earwax.. it may be that you're trying to keep your ears too clean.

    Just leave the spots and let them go away on there own - you don't want to be poking anything down your ear.

    I don't go out of my way to rid the earwax from my ears :lol:
    But generally I try and keep them tidy..
    I'm just glad I'm not the only one that gets them :p:

    When you say keep them tidy...what do you do?

    I know how annoying & painful they can be! I actually have a couple of little spots in my outta ear at the moment - I think it may be from oily skin or something - even though i gently clean them with a wipe most days.
    That's why I think, sometimes it's best just to leave them alone.. the more you interfere the more you're likely to end up with a buildup of dirt/ wax etc..

    I just get a cottonbud like, once a month and just clear out any excess wax :cool:
    they're so irritating, especially if I'm trying to listen to my music with my earbuds

    no no never use a cottonbud! It's ok around the outta ear.. but you don't clear out the wax in the hole bit do you?

    I know they are annoying ! can feel like a big bruise sometimes! not nice.

    In all honesty it could have been much worse, the OP could now have hearing aids
