Ear wax lump from hell

I’ve had earache for a couple of weeks, well today I touched my ear and was like “what the hell is that”. A HUGE lump of wax was hanging halfway out of my ear.

Are you ready for this?? I still can’t believe it 🤣

Are you a fellow member of the Dull Men's Club on facebook?

I looked at the photo and said (out loud) "we need a banana for scale" 😂

I feel very silly but i disposed of her too soon! I took a few pics and put her in the bin (RIP Ruby)

I had no pockets and felt a bit weird carrying my lump of mummified hairy wax around the park 🫣

Is it weird that I want you to squish it?

I did! It was very candle wax-ish

I was laying in bed picking at the skin one night as the skin felt so unbelievably tight, when my whole ear shed layers of dry skin, that came off in one whole large piece exactly like a snake shedding its skin.

That happened to me when both my ears got sunburned. The skin that came off was like a spooky ghost ear.

I remembered to put sunscreen on them after that.

That’s bloody amazing!

I had my ears stringed many years ago and had a similar size piece of wax come out. Such a feeling of satisfaction when it plonked into the metal dish. Incredible that it came out on its own.

Wax will naturally find its way out eventually as it’s the only way it can go. That’s why it’s dangerous to prod and poke to try and remove it. Have experienced smaller lumps just randomly appearing in my hair near my ears over the years !

Also the people saying they see faces in it… it’s funny because I kept being reminded of something when I looked at the picture… then I realised! Ruby Wax is giving total grinch vibes! 😂 maybe a little Chewbacca too.

An Ode to Ruby

Let’s raise a toast
And wax lyrical
To dear Ruby
She wasn’t with us long
But she brought us joy
Although she did pong
She was a girl not a boy
And now her legacy lives on
’Ear Ear! Shouts her mum
My hearing is clear!
Bless you little Ruby.

LadyVioletBridgerton · 16/06/2026 17:36

I’m so jealous!!

Anyahyacinth · 16/06/2026 17:39

The little hairs are part of the ears self cleaning system and a block to unwanted intruders…you had a fierce body guard there OP 🧌

Are you sure it’s not your absorbed twin? Mate it’s got hair

I just cackled.

VeganStar · 16/06/2026 18:10

Are you sure you haven’t had the Priest in for an exorcism op That’s surely a little demon that you have there. Have you heard it speaking in a low gruffly voice???

Yogachick · 16/06/2026 18:20

Fantastic! Bet that’s a relief!

Years ago at work I felt something pop at my ear and I found a perfectly spherical ball of something that looked like your creature. I stormed over to the security guard to demand why he was throwing things at me and lo and behold that’s when I learnt it was a wax ball. I’ll never forget it (and Melvin, the security guard)

It looks like a sheep turd. Or a miniature duck. Why are there longish hairs on it? You must have been completely deaf.

JESUS CHRIST!! IT HAS FIBRES WOVEN INTO IT!!!

Ear hairs from the ear canal.

ImAMinion · 16/06/2026 19:06

Oh my word!!!!

I had a similar one to that once - managed to blast my ear with my very high pressure shower one morning when washing my hair - had a horrible ear ache after.

Went to work. Was working at a table with a group of Refeption children and the pain suddenly rocketed and I had to stop - suddenly a wax lump almost identical to the one on hear popped out and landed on the table! Kids found it hilarious and wanted me to “do the trick again” on the other side. The relief was immense.

Extreme ear wax removal on YouTube. Highly satisfying.

OP, you need to ask MNHQ to change your thread title to 'Earwax lump from Heaven'.

GoodbyeZebedee · 16/06/2026 19:12

Are you sure a swan or a baby goat hasn’t shat in your ear?

Givemeausernamepls · 16/06/2026 19:13
