A while back there was a post about having an itchy ear.
Well I’ve been vigorously cleaning my ear after a shower in case it was ear wax build-up.
After doing that Sunday I’ve been getting blood on the tissue paper. GP said I’ve perforated my ear drum and I’ve been prescribed antibiotics.
Bugger.
If your ear itches - get steroid ear drops. I’ve now got to shower with cotton wool & vaseline in my ear to keep it dry.
Dry and itchy, until it heals.
I’m 40. I’m too old to be this stupid. :(

Youre never too old to be stupid
My Dad always scratched his ears with a car key. Never seemed very wise.
Well I didn’t have an itchy ear until you brought it up
You might have a family of spiders living in there. You don’t want to hurt a family do you?
I had a dig around in there a few months back and now whenever I get a cold my ear blocks up. It’s like having an earplug in.
Add me to your list of stupids. I have what I think is a blocked duct or follicle on my eye, its swollen & painful so decided it best to douse my eye in my go to cure all - TCP. At this point I’d take a perforated eardrum!
