Should I see a doctor, or should I be able to heal on my own?
So I have some sort of ear infection, at first I didn't thing it was so bad, but it appears to be getting worse.
Basically somehow the skin on the inside of my ear got all crumbly, almost all the way to the outside, and if I messed with it, parts come come off and it would slowly ooze clear liquid.
On top of that there started being more pain and I can clearly hear my heartbeat in the bad ear, and I've found that instead of regular earwax there appears to be pushed all around the inside.
I've had probably 4 or 5 ear infections in the last 7 or 8 years, and 1 of them was a lot more painful, and another was more of a hearing loss problem (like I became almost deaf due to blockage on top of the eardrum, after it cleared up I was fine and could hear like normal).
And I squirted a bit of Hydrogen Peroxide in my ear and it bubbled up for almost 5 minutes.
Can I heal without going to a doctor? How long would it take?
Or should I just see a doctor?

apple cider vinegar, 3 capsules 3x a day....also use, liquid ACV, just dip qtip in it, and gently clean out ear, toss dirty qtip, dip fresh one and keep cleaning. I don't care how weird it sounds, this was Hippocrates favorite cure-all, he was the father of medicine.....no joke

go to the doctor strait away, you should have at least poured in hydrogen peroxide at the first sign of pain
