Earwax Has An Odd Smell With Soft Texture
My earwax has an odd smell to it. The texture is a bit more... soft than is normal, but the coloration is no different than my left ear, if not a bit brighter of an orange/tan. The smell is difficult to describe, but I know that it is distinctly different than my other ear. Any thoughts?

Hello
It is likely that you may be having a fungal infection and may need antifungal drops for it. you may also need to remove the wax and get the ear cleared. Please meet your ent doctor for examination and the prescription.
