Don't dig into your ear if it itches (feddit.uk)

A while back there was a post about having an itchy ear.

Well I've been vigorously cleaning my ear after a shower in case it was ear wax build-up.

After doing that Sunday I've been getting blood on the tissue paper. GP said I've perforated my ear drum and I've been prescribed antibiotics.

Bugger.

If your ear itches - get steroid ear drops. I've now got to shower with cotton wool & vaseline in my ear to keep it dry.

Dry and itchy, until it heals.

I'm 40. I'm too old to be this stupid. :(

Add me to your list of stupids. I have what I think is a blocked duct or follicle on my eye, its swollen & painful so decided it best to douse my eye in my go to cure all - TCP. At this point I'd take a perforated eardrum!
