Can I get treatment for blackheads on my nose and ears? Is that possible? Also, what are the best ways to get rid of them, and what kind of treatments are available? I've been struggling with this and would love some advice.

After a mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty, occasional "dub dub" sounds (also known as pulsatile tinnitus) can occur.
Possible causes for increased frequency:
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
- Middle ear fluid or pressure changes
- Scar tissue formation or adhesions
- Residual infection or inflammation
The connection to commuting and potholes suggests:
- Pressure changes affecting the middle ear
- Vibrations transmitted through the skull
Consult your ENT surgeon for a follow-up evaluation to assess:
- Healing progress
- Middle ear function
- Potential need for further treatment or intervention

View allI've been using this Panderm Plus cream, and every time I go out, my skin seems to get darker, even though I put on sunscreen. I'm really thinking about stopping the use of this cream, but I'm not sure how to get my skin back to normal afterward. Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation?
1. *Gradually taper off*: Don't stop using Panderm Plus abruptly. Gradually reduce the frequency and amount applied over 2-3 weeks. 2. *Replace with alternative creams*: Consult your doctor or dermatologist for alternative creams that are less likely to cause hyperpigmentation. 3. *Use sunscreen with high SPF*: Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) and reapply every 2 hours. 4. *Wear protective clothing*: Cover your skin with clothing, hats, and umbrellas when going out. 5. *Consider vitamin C or niacinamide creams*: These creams may help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin brightening.

I've been having this constant burning sensation on the skin of my scrotum, and it's just in one spot. Everything else feels okay, but it's really bothering me because it's hard to walk, sit, or even sleep. I've tried using Suthol and some cooling powders, but it's not helping. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next?
That could be microbial infection,no need to worry,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment,personal hygiene is the main stay for this to get treated.
