What Causes A Black Spot Inside The Ear Drum?
Recently at a senior health fair, one booth looked into the ear canal to see if there was a build up of ear wax. What they did find in my right ear was a black spot way inside on the eardrum. They suggested I have it looked at. Can you tell me what it might be?

Hello,
I think it is a yeast infection of the ear (otomycosis ). You should use antifungal drops to treat it. I suggest to consult with ENT for a better opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
