      "brown waxy discharge",
      "redness of ear canal",
      "mild swelling of ear flap"
    ],
    "assessment": "Brown waxy discharge with thick consistency is characteristic of Malassezia yeast overgrowth. Canal redness shows active inflammation. Skin hyperpigmentation inside the ear suggests this may be recurring. Untreated yeast infections can progress to the middle ear, which is harder to treat.",
