A doctor has provided 1 answer
Otorhinolaryngology: ENT (ear nose throat) doctors treat keratosis obturans. Periodic cleaning of the ear canals by the doctor is the treatment. Keratosis obturans is the buildup of keratin in the ear canal. Keratin is a protein made by skin cells to form the protective layer of the skin. The exact cause of keratosis obturans is unknown. It may be due to a problem with the production of skin cells in the ear canals.
