No it does not seem : It may be wax mixed with some foreign body bot lice does not enter your ear and if it does it will cause intense itching.But have your doctor check you for more wax or gravel in your ear and have it cleaned by your doctor or an ENT specialist.

Live: Lice don't leave gray mucous. They are usually living and crawling around your scalp and can be directly observed. They also lay eggs, called nits, which are small and white. These are not like mucous, but they are stuck to the hair follicles. There are special nit combs we recommend to help get the nits out. Have someone look closely in you hair and at your scalp. Lots of treatment availabl.
