Ear Wax
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It protects the ear by trapping dust and debris, preventing infection. While typically expelled naturally, excessive ear wax may lead to blockages, hearing issues, and discomfort, requiring medical intervention for safety and efficacy.
