Health Query

Is there a chance that shampoos containing keratolytic and exfoliants such as salicylic acid, or ketoconazole or zinc pyrithrone or coal tar can cause damage or exfoliation of keratin or any other material near by tympanic membrane and cause a little amount of bleed, is it a problem if there is a little bleed on my earbud following bath and using an earbud to clean the water but I have no symptoms of ear ache, ear discharge or any other symptoms related to ear pathology, is this a matter for concern and should be brought to the notice of ent specialist or any other doctor as such!

It is unlikely that the said materials will cause any ear bleed. On the contrary using ear buds can. Please stop using ear buds!

The most common type of drainage from the ear is earwax, which keeps the ear clean and healthy. Other types of drainage and discharge include blood, clear fluid, and pus. These may signal a ruptured eardrum or ear infection. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

The job of earwax is to make sure that dust, bacteria, and other foreign bodies don't get into your ear. However, other conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, can cause blood or other fluids to drain from your ear. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
