White residue inside ear.
Hello doctor,
Baby is 2 months old.
I found some white residue inside my baby's ear. When I took it out with the help of a cotton cloth it looked something like dry skin with texture of a creamy substance.
I have attached photos of both ear and the residue I took out.
Plz help with what needs to be done and what medicine should I give.

Nothing to worry. It’s normal only . Clean the ear with cotton cloth only. Don’t use ear buds . No need of any medicine
