HI
Well come to HCM
This could be wax formation and this is very common phenomenon seen in certain subject no need to instilled peroxide for it but this can be best managed with the solution that dissolve the wax and this is Turpentine oil with chlorbutol Benzocaine, but this can only be used when there is impaction of wax else no need to use this, take care.
