A member asked:
My inner ear feels wet and itchy inside. earwax looks creamy. what type antibiotic cream is good for me ?

Not antibiotic: You may have a fungal infection in the ear canal and thus would not likely respond to abx. If there is no history of ear drum perforation, some OTC anti-fungal ear drops (usually containing acetic acid) may be helpful. If problem persists, see your doctor to get checked out.
