semi gross ? for the medical nesties/anyone else who wants to venture a guess
When I was in high school and I had earwax it was often bright yellow/brown and more chunky.
Now it is very light yellow or white. Its never brown anymore.
Why the change?
f.k.a.= Derniermot

Since I'm just guessing? Yes.
Aaaaaaaaaaand now I have to go google.
I never really analyzed the status of my ear wax.
But I'm always up for something new for me to be obsessive about, so thanks for the freebie.
It sounds like you have a tumor, but I'm not a doctor.
There are two distinct genetically determined types of earwax: the wet type, which is dominant, and the dry type, which is recessive. While Asians and Native Americans are more likely to have the dry type of cerumen (gray and flaky), black and white people are more likely to have the wet type (honey-brown to dark-brown and moist).[7]The consistency of wet type earwax is due to the higher concentration of lipid and pigment granules (50% lipid) in the substance than the dry type (30% lipid).
