Is Yellow Color Wax In The Outer Canal Of The Ear A Concern?
Hey i found almost a yellow/brown color of earwax on the outer canal of my mom s ears, not in the middle ear canal, the outer one where you can see if someone has earwax or not, she wears the veil to cover her head and puts it tight, is it something to be concerned about?

Hello,
Yellow to brown color ear wax is normal. Newly produced wax is generally yellow and if it stays for a while in the ear it can become darker and darker and may even be black.
There is nothing to worry about finding yellow-brown wax in the ears.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
