A while back there was a post about having an itchy ear.
Well I’ve been vigorously cleaning my ear after a shower in case it was ear wax build-up.
After doing that Sunday I’ve been getting blood on the tissue paper. GP said I’ve perforated my ear drum and I’ve been prescribed antibiotics.
Bugger.
If your ear itches - get steroid ear drops. I’ve now got to shower with cotton wool & vaseline in my ear to keep it dry.
Dry and itchy, until it heals.
I’m 40. I’m too old to be this stupid. :(

Well I didn’t have an itchy ear until you brought it up
how did you manage to reach that far in? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My Dad always scratched his ears with a car key. Never seemed very wise.
And there was me thinking I was an only child!
Did you also get itchy ears at the age of 27?
Hopefully you got a car by then
And it didn’t need waxing for years.
Oh no.
Hope you heal up quickly!
Don’t be hard on yourself though - we’re all aware of the hazard, but we all do it.
Managing with slightly warmed olive oil when mine itch, but still go in with an earbud from time to time.
Ear candles bro
Ear candles do nothing. Other than line the pockets of quacks.
Literal pseudoscientific garbage.

But I saw it in Shrek!?!?!
Light one not in your ear and realize how dumb they are.
Na mouth candles are better, with appropriate filling of course.
I had a dig around in there a few months back and now whenever I get a cold my ear blocks up. It’s like having an earplug in.
You might have a family of spiders living in there. You don’t want to hurt a family do you?
Youre never too old to be stupid
