Question:

Ear wax remover?

I heard of this thing years ago,and i cant remember the details.It is some kind of funnel that you place in the ear,and light it,it suppose to draw wax out? please give me some details on how that works,and where to get it from.thanks.


Answers:

You are talking about an ear candle. I have never had it done, but have heard about it. Doesn't sound safe to me. Usually salons do it. I am an RN, we usually use a product called debrox to soften ear wax (it is carbamide peroxide). A few drops of baby oil will also work, used daily until problem resolves.
