Hello doctors,Last July,24 I had my Tympanoplasty surgery in left ear by Dr Ravi at Banglore.Everthing was normal,from last few weeks I feel a little jam,block sensation in my ears.Few time I removed Wax.Normal Wax it was.But yesterday I checked the ear and found a WHITISH THING in eardrum mainly where the graft was placed.I was shocked and little nervous.Im attaching the same photo of this, please have a look.Later I searched internet and there are so many things about it.But I can confirm grafting was normal,no symptoms of graft failure,Haven't faced Tinnitus, Dizziness, Headache and no Yellow Discharge from ear.Then I tried to connect with doctor. Unfortunately he is not available. As advised by Dr,That day I dropped few drops of Coconut Oil.Today the whitish part is partially disappeared.Whay was it and why sudden it appeared. Please look at the photos kindly and give me suggestions 🙏 I'm really anxious

Hi. Looking at your picture, the white thing can simply be a collection of dry and dead cells in the ear canal. Assuming that there is no ear discharge and pain since you haven't mentioned anything about it, I would ask you not to worry much. But the ear definitely needs an otoscopic evaluation.
Next Steps
Do not wait for your surgeon to return and get an ENT consultation as soon as possible. A simple otoscopic examination can very well diagnose what that white patch is.
Health Tips
Never ever probe your ear with buds, especially after undergoing an ear surgery. It can lead to graft infection/ failure and recurrent ear infections.
Good day.
