I've been putting rubbing alcohol on it to keep it dry and clean, but I've never seen anything like it and we don't really have money to take him to the doctor.

What are they? haha my sister uses them alot. you stick them in your ear and they pull wax and dirt out... and yeah you light them It sounds awful. I want one. haha. If it's just for cleansing, I doubt it would help. It sounds like a scar or infection-based ball of pus. guitargogo90 Posted at 6:07 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Quote: from katiescarlett at 9:06 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 Quote: from guitargogo90 at 6:02 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 what about ear candles? could that help?

Where at on/in his ear? Does he have a pierced ear? its like inside his ear. but not too deep, its where i can see it obviously I wouldn't suggest trying to home-lance or anything. If it doesn't go away within a week, take him to a doctor.
