What is a Fungal Ear Infection?
A fungal ear infection, also known as otomycosis, is an infection caused by fungi in the ear canal—the passage that runs from the outer ear to the eardrum. While these infections can be uncomfortable and irritating, they are typically treatable with the right antifungal solution, such as Canesten Solution. Canesten Solution is specifically formulated to effectively target and eliminate the fungi responsible for these infections, providing relief and promoting healing.
What Causes a Fungal Ear Infection?
Fungal ear infections occur when fungi are allowed to grow in the ear canal, often due to a reduction in the ear’s natural defenses. Earwax, or cerumen, normally protects the ear canal lining from fungal invasion. However, certain factors can diminish this protective barrier, allowing fungi to take hold:
- Reduced Earwax: Activities such as frequent swimming (which introduces sea or pool water into the ear) or overuse of cotton buds can strip away the protective wax, increasing the risk of infection.
- Eczema: Skin conditions like eczema inside the ear can create an environment where fungi can thrive.
- Warm Climates: Fungi proliferate more quickly in warm, humid environments, making fungal ear infections more common in hotter climates.
What are the symptoms of Fungal Ear Infection?
Fungal ear infections can cause a range of symptoms in one or both ears, including:
- Itching – more common and often worse for infections caused by fungi than by bacteria
- Redness – most likely in the outer part of the ear canal
- Inflammation – your ear may become swollen
- Hearing problems – you may notice a ringing in your ear, or that your ear feels ‘full’
- Pain – your ear could become painful or uncomfortable
- Discharge – look out for a thick fluid coming from your ear. It’s usually yellow, but can be green, black, white or grey
- Flaky skin – the skin around and inside your ear hole can become flaky
