A member asked:

My ears don't produce earwax anymore and i know its needed for keeping bugs away. what can i do to get my ears to produce earwax again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Earwax: First, you need to know why you're not producing earwax. It's unusual not to be able to produce earwax. I would request referral to ENT to discuss that.
