A dilute solution of acetic acid is used medicinally as an antiseptic for ear canal infections caused by bacteria or fungi, creating an acidic environment that inhibits microbial growth. It is also a component of some vaginal preparations used to restore normal pH. At the concentrations used medically, it is safe and well tolerated, though it should not be used if the eardrum is perforated.
