Question: my brother have undergone tympanomastoidectomy operation five and half months back. two three weeks back we can say some white granulation appeared on tympanic menbrane, some yellow colored liquid is also oozing out from ear evry morning when he is getting up from bed. Doctor says its a severe allergy, scraped that area. But white granulation can be seen from outside right on the eardrum, if we slightly pull the ear backside. Please say what is it .

Hello Dr. Bakshi, First of all thanks a lot for your answere. Today my brother have revisit the doctor again, he again have scraped the bone, saying he is cleaning the debris. Additional info is this he said the skin formation is not happening on bone. Please tell us doctor why it is so? what could be the reason. He have given only one drop and one SOS ointment for itching.

Dear Sir, Many thanks for your clarification. If you can please answere some of my queries. Sir where from this debris are generated? How a patient can assess the healing status? My brother always feel there is one point of problemetic area inside his ear, where from all these additional difficulties are generating. Now whether the problem is inside the middle ear or in outer ear, very close to middle ear, not able to say definitely. Sir after doing mastoidectomy is there any chance of problem inside the inner ear? Without touching the tympanic membrane can doctor scrape the ossicles? Will be extreamly thankfull to get all your highly explanatory answeres. Regards,

Hello Dr., Hope you are doing extremly fine. By now i got all my questions answered by you with clear explanations. I have some more queries related to brother's ear, please guide us Sir. As you know earlier his ear was oozing liquid clear water like and sometimes clear pale yellow like. --- No liquid is now oozing from his ear. As prescribed by doctor, he is giving steroid ear drop dexamethasone thrice in a day. I told you before that chalky white sedimentation I can see inside his ear probably right on his ear drum. Doctor who have operated him said it may be due to some severe allergical outcome. I also informed you that on 10th march he scraped inside the ear leaving the eardrum area, he scraped the bone as well by saying to get skin formation perfectly. ------- I came to know from internet that chalky white sedimentation may be due to tympanosclerosis. What is it doctor? Is it worrysome? As such my brother is not facing any itching and oozing out problem now because of said allergical issues. His botherations are 1. He is feeling numbness, heaviness on the side of operated ear-- not continous but occasonally, mostly back of the ear. 2. Sometimes he is feeling pain on the backside of the ear and back of the mastoid bone --- not very heavy pain but tolerable pain. 3. He is still worrying that in his middle ear mastoid hole area is quite big now, why at all the healing is taking too much of time fo lining the bone. It's now 5+ months going on. Is everything what he is facing normal or should we do something more for better clarification? Waiting for your valuable feedback. With kind regards,
