There is a yellow-black powder coming out of my ear on a q-tip. Does this mean I have a fungal ear infection?

In some cases, when you have an ear infection, there can be a yellowish discharge coming from the ear. (I'm not talking about earwax.) Are you having any pains in your ear? Even if you aren't, you should still make an appointment with your physician and he or she can prescribe something to get it cleared up.
