Despite having been involved with grappling for over 25 years, these baby fetuses I have attached to them side of my head now are fairly new. Not sure if anybody else experiences this, but even though I wash myself, and my ears, daily, I've found that the new creases in my ears usually smell bad (like old cheese) if I stick my finger in there and then smell it.

Anybody else experience this phenomena or is it just me and my stinky ears? I'm thinking of starting a support group. I feel better after having shared this with everybody. Thank you.

I have my ears stretched and yes, the inside of my ear holes (3/4") sometimes can smell. My wife calls it ear jizz - and it smells.

I have found washing and a gentle antiseptic helps. Hope this helps you with your ear issue :)

It's not really an issue. I'm just stuck in a car on the way to a tournament and the guy driving is forcing us to listen to a Winnie the Pooh audio book and this is what I was thinking about while I'm trying to not shoot myself in the face.

I can’t stop visualizing you sniffing your fingers.
It's like coming across something foul-smelling or a good fart. We don't want to smell it, but as a guy, it's in our DNA to stupidly do so. lol

I can't say that I'm not running a finger through the cauliflower crack and smell it a few times a day, just to check if it needs cleaning. Also, can confirm it's a bit like smelling your own fart. Kind of...... nice?

Now I feel lucky my ears swelled on the backside. No ear jizz and they look almost normal.

Grappling can have some nasty effects on the body. Toe nails all fckd up, "elephant skin" on the feet etc. We should get memberships to beauty salons. :D

Got the cauliflower as a white belt, and that's why I could never stop training (otherwise I'd just be a guy with ugly ears who can't fight). The waxy stuff is okay, I can clean it out usually; it's the crusty stuff stuck in the crevices that I have trouble with. I end up just having scratches on my ear because I can't get to it, and then I don't know if it's actual crust or scabs.

I have just enough cauliflower to make my ears itchy and scabby. I just dip Q-tips in antiseptic and clean them out periodically. You have to disinfect any earbuds that will still fit in there as well, or you get weird topical infections that itch like crazy. When I first recognized the problem my index finger started to hurt from all the sticking it my ears to pull out the crusts.
