"The ear canal itself is just skin tissue and the wax is produced from what's called sebaceous glands - they're little glands in the ear canal,"
"The ear canal skin is kind of like a conveyor belt where, as it starts to die off, it migrates outward, taking along with it the wax as well. So if you just run water in your ear in the shower, it should flush that out."
"In those particular cases, don't dig. Go to a professional, have them look in your ears,"
"There are easy, simple ways to get it out that are safe. I would even say be careful with those over-the-counter ear washes and definitely don't stick things like bobby pins or pen caps in your ear."
Earwax is produced by sebaceous glands in the ear canal and the ear canal skin migrates outward, carrying wax with it. Running water in the shower typically flushes out normal wax, and gently using a soapy finger in the shower can be sufficient. Some people produce excessive wax or have very hairy ear canals and may need professional help. Avoid digging in the ear and do not insert objects like bobby pins or pen caps. A few drops of hydrogen peroxide or similar softening agents can help flush wax, but avoid over-cleaning to prevent harm.
