Hydrogen Peroxide Ear Wax Dissolution
On whether hydrogen peroxide can dissolve earwax
The way of hearing medicine often involves the treatment of various diseases and the effect of material use. Now people may be skeptical about the dissolution of hydrogen peroxide in earwax.
The chemical name of hydrogen peroxide is hydrogen peroxide, which has oxidizing properties. Look at its use in various ways, or debridement and antivirus, or promoting chemical reactions. As for earwax, it is accumulated in the ear canal, and its components are complex, including sebum, keratin, and dust.
I have heard that there are people who try to dissolve earwax with hydrogen peroxide. In the ear canal, when hydrogen peroxide meets earwax, or bubbles, there seems to be movement. The reason is that when capping hydrogen peroxide meets some components in earwax, a chemical reaction occurs, releasing oxygen, and it becomes the appearance of bubbles. However, this phenomenon does not necessarily prove that earwax is soluble.
The meaning of dissolution is that the solute is evenly dispersed in the solvent to form a uniform and stable state. When earwax encounters hydrogen peroxide, although there are bubbles, it can be seen that the end, or the earwax is not fully dissolved in the hydrogen peroxide, only some components react, and the remaining earwax may still be concentrated in the ear canal, which does not achieve the effect of dissolution.
Furthermore, the skin of the ear canal is delicate, and the hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing. If the concentration is improper, it may hurt the skin of the ear canal, causing redness, swelling and pain.
In summary, although hydrogen peroxide reacts to earwax, it is difficult to assert that it can dissolve earwax. In the matter of earwax cleaning, follow the doctor's advice, choose a safe and appropriate method, and do not use hydrogen peroxide for it, so as not to hurt the ear canal and suffer endless consequences.
