Add dimethylbenzene or "Xylene"

[edit]

Dimethylbenzene or Xylene can also be used as a cerumenolytic. This product in Italy uses it https://www.cerulisina.it/prodotti/gocce-orecchie/cerulisina/ and there is also a patent record for it https://patents.google.com/patent/FR2750336A1/en

I am however not sure where it should fit in the article, what type it is.

I guess the Xylene article should also be updated. It mentions the use as a solvent, but not for earwax. Victorhartman (talk) 14:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

add carbamide peroxide?

[edit]

A search on amazon.com for "earwax removal kit" from Kansas City in the US identified several products that included a small bottle of carbamide peroxide. I could not find "carbamide peroxide" listed in this article. I thought that was odd, because I saw it with multiple products on Amazon. Eventually, I found the Wikipedia article on hydrogen peroxide - urea, which noted that it was also known as carbamide urea. Accordingly, I've added that "aka" to the opening sentence of this article. I hope you find that an improvement. DavidMCEddy (talk) 18:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
