That looks pretty fucking awful. Have fun with that, I know I wouldn't want that shit happening to me.
Looks like a good reason not to swim.
Never could understand peoples attraction to water. Not something I ever wanted to do.
public pools are disgusting

i wasn't even swimming
it's just called "swimmer's ear".
it's probably because i clean my ears with q-tips too much and stick them really deep in my ears.
ear cleaning feels so damn good.

Don't like that "out of control" feeling.
When I had tried swimming in a friend's pool, I always fell head first and panicked. Screw that, let the fish have it, I'll stay on land where I belong.

Well that's a dumb name then. I certainly thought you got it from swimming. Looks nasty tho.

Most of the time swimmer's ear does come from swimming, just like tennis elbow comes from tennis.
But you can get it in a variety of different ways, using q tips excessively is one of them
>>29618871
How is using a q tip much different than just washing your ear? One causes that outbreak and the other doesn't?
>>29617283
Wew anon I'm about to go to the pool.
Don't scare me like this.
>>29619023
In excess, both will cause the outbreak. But q tips push the wax further in the canal which speeds the infection.
Don't fuck with your ears anymore anon, I know the wax is annoying but it's there to keep shit out of the canal and to keep your ears healthy

Maybe if OP wasn't retarded and cleaned out his ears with hydrogen peroxide so he wouldn't pick at them he would be fine.
I stick scissors in my ear and I've never gotten any of that
>>29618227
That's literally the worst way to clean your ears
Feels good though

Reminder that Earwax protects your ears against infections
Never get rid of all of it, keep a good amount to be sure your ears are protected.
>tfw might have Menieres disease
I'm too nervous to go back to the doctors for tests but I'm running out of medicine.
You're not alone OP, who else /badears/ here?
