What causes white stuff deposition in ears?
Patient: I just noticed that my 7 week old daughter has white stuff in her ear. It is beyond what I can reach with a damp cloth, but visible when looking in ear. She doesn t seem uncomfortable laying down, has no fever, and is mostly breatsfed. Any thoughts? My first thought was maybe some of that white gunk from when she was born? Maybe soap from baths? Doctor: Hi...the possibilities could be the soap or powder or it could even be a fungal infection of the external ear. I suggest you consult your paediatrician and he will the best person to directly visualize and decide what it is and if any treatment is required.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
