Searching, searching and asking doctors I could never get answers. Going over the various forums, I'm glad to find out I'm not alone! I've had this problem since I was a child and my mother always took out those "stinky white particles" with a cotton swab. Always rinsed afterwards with salt water (don't know the effects of it). Interesting enough, I don't feel sick nor have any symptoms when these particles appeared, so I was always puzzled what cause them to surface. My mother indicated that it was probably from an infection that my body was fighting. After reading your article, I can say now that "Mother knows best". My body is functioning as it is supposed to work by fighting some kind of infection. But then again, what frequency of the appearances would determine that I should be concerned and that something is wrong? I take multivitamins, vitamin C and E daily and I don't know if they help.
