Hi,
I remember I did not even know I had ear fungus but I get 3 to 4-month checkups. He initially cleaned out my ears and told me to get Povidone iodine 10% solution which I did. It has a longer lasting antiseptic effect than the lugol's 2%. I got a CVS brand.
For 2 days I used a dropper and filled the ear canal per his instructions...probably the whole dropper for each ear. Leave in for five or six minutes and then put a cotton ball in it and then did the other ear. I did this morning and
night. He told me not to wear hearing aids for a couple of hours after I did that and on the third day I saw him again and my ears were all cleared up. Iodine is not cheap anymore. I still have my bottle. And I do remember him specifying Povidone 10%. He said his peers have reported great success with their patients.
Be careful and cover your clothes because your know this stains.
