I had to use ear drops for a long time. (prescribed) Fortunately after a year (?) it cleared up. He said I had ''eczema in my ear canal'' It was ''my fault'' since I used to wash my hair every day and my ears got waterlogged.....
I wish people would consider how they phrase things like that. Millions of people shower every day and their ears are fine. That doctor should have worked with you to help you to know why your body was different and how to make the best out of the variables you are working with. 'Your fault'. That's crap and an unnecessary judgment.
