Been Having Ear Pain, Lot Of Flakes And Wax, Got It Out, White Spots On Ear Drums. Am I Okay?
I had been having ear pain for a few days, so i decided to go to the doctor. After going to the doctor they said there was a lot of flakes and that she was having a problem seeing the ear drum. After cleaning out the ear to get the excess flakes and wax out she took another look and said that there were white spots in the ear. She prescribed some ear drops and recommended me to an ent specialist

hello and welcome to HCM,
White spots in the ear can be anything ranging from wax, skin, flakes, fungus, cotton, thermocol pieces etc to name a few. If you are bothered by this then you must consult an ENT who can make a proper diagnosis
meanwhile do not meddle or clean your ears
take care
