<human>: I noticed that my 4 year old son seems to have a small growth of something white in his ear canal. It looks like a small bumpy area and then a line that circles the canal. He only complains when we clean his ear after a bath and it s a very mild complaint. I only noticed it because he came to me and said his ear bothered him so I took and flashlight and had to pull his ear a little to be able to see. He only mentioned it that once. Any idea what this is?
<bot>: Hi, Welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns. Small white growth in the ear canal of a 4-year-old child could be due to fungal infection, acute supportive Otis media. And examination of ear canal should be done by a ENT specialist doctor. After examination, the white fungal growth should be removed from the ear. Eye Chat Doctor. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards
