Don't dig into your ear if it itches
Don't dig into your ear if it itches
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. :(
Youre never too old to be stupid
