Hi, there can be two reasons for your complaint; fungal infection or wax. Wax every month which needs evacuation by doctor is unlikely unless proper cleaning has not been done at any given time and you use ear buds very often. For fungal infection also, please get your ear cleaned properly. You need to get your ear examined by an ENT, properly and completely cleaned and after that keep the use of ear buds to the minimum and also avoid the entry of water in to your ears.
