Recovered from fungal ear infection,water enters in to the ear while bathing,again can see white powdery stuff in ear.is it fungal debris ?

Fungal debris: Rather than fungal debris, it may be old dryed out cerumen or ear wax. Use several drops of vinegar to keep your outer ears clean

Could be: recurrence of the fungal infection, or your ear canal shedding old infected cells.
