Does the color of your earwax reveal the “true state” of your health, with white earwax indicating a vitamin deficiency and black earwax suggesting a fungal infection?
No, that’s not true: Earwax can come in a range of colors from dark to light, but it doesn’t reliably show if you’re healthy or have problems like infections. If it changes a lot in color, texture or smell, it could mean an issue, but typically it’s not enough to diagnose anything.
