Black pimples in the ear, often appearing as blackheads, are caused by clogged pores due to oil, dead skin, and dirt buildup. Factors such as poor hygiene, excessive earwax, frequent headphone use, and humid environments can contribute to their formation. These pimples are usually harmless but can become irritated or infected if not properly treated.

To manage them, it’s important to clean the ears regularly using gentle methods and avoid picking or squeezing, which can lead to infections. Over-the-counter treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help unclog pores and reduce blackhead formation. Additionally, avoiding the overuse of earphones and keeping the ears dry can prevent further issues.

If the black pimples persist, cause discomfort, or show signs of infection, seeking advice from a dermatologist or healthcare provider is recommended for safe and effective removal. Proper care can help maintain clear and healthy skin inside the ears.
