Dirt in ear

Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh, I had hurt my ear where there is a contour which we wipe whilst doing wudu (the Inside corner Of the contour) Two days ago. I could feel some sort of liquid coming out and decided not to touch it and let it dry because I didn’t want to do anything to make it worse. When doing wudu I would wipe over the area but I had not removed the liquid That had dried at that point. Today whilst cleaning that area of the ear I had found dirt that had was probably the liquid that had dried which would’ve caused a barrier in my wudu. Does this cause my wudu to be invalid. I know that some say that cleaning the ear isn’t Necessary but suppose it is. Is what I did wrong and therefore am I required to make up the prayers I Prayed in this condition.
