"A few years ago, a doctor prescribed a cortico-steroid based cream for the eczema that had materialized in my ear . Without a doubt provoked by a sensitivity to soap.
After a few applications, the problem was clearing up but reappeared after 2 or 3 days without treatment.
One fine day I decided, instead of renewing this costly prescription, to massage the inside of my ear with castor oil on the tip of my baby finger.
I can say that this treatment is as effective as the prescription cream.
I have also formed the habit of anointing my ear canal with the help of a cotton swab imbibed with castor oil once or twice a week.
I no longer have any problems with wax accumulation."
