Question 1

numbness left side of face for 7 months ent said ear clear..my ear make cracking sound and it all started with blocked ear with wax.

Accepted Answer

Unrelated : The facial numbness could be due to facial nerve problem, ear wax and cracking sound in your ear is an external and middle ears problems, not directly related to the numbness that you have. You may want to see a neurologist for a second opnion, good luck

Question 2

how do you get rid of spots caused by face waxing?

Accepted Answer

Spots: Hydrocortisone 1% otc and fragrance free moisturizer applied twice daily for a few days will calm irritated red skin from waxing.

Question 3

using cortic-ds cream 1% after waxing face & skin peeled off?

Accepted Answer

And the question is?: The top layer of skin cells may peel off after a 2-4 days, after any inflammation (such as skin swelling, a sunburn, a friction burn, or perhaps waxing). The peeling may be less noticeable if one had used Hydrocortisone cream from the start of the inflammation, through the 2-4 days until the peeling. This is because Hydrocortisone decreases inflammation in the skin. The drug is for short-term use.

Question 4

i smoked a wax pen sunday now ive been feeling numb every since (5 days). how long will it take until the numbness go away?

Accepted Answer

Numbness: Hi,
If you feel that this was directly caused by the wax pen, meaning you smoked it and the same numbness has lingered for 5 days without smoking it again, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Regulation on manufacture of pens and vapes can be highly variable and the concern would be that you had a reaction to one of the ingredients. Hope this helps.

Question 5

1 side numbness / tingling waxing and waning all day for 5 weeks. neuro diagnosed with complex migraine. can it last for this long??

Accepted Answer

Migraine: Migraine usually resolves in 72 hours. I recommend you be seen again for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Best to see MD: Best to see MD to be sure you did not damage eardrum/Tympanic Membrane.

Question 7

i''ve been filling tingling and numbness in both ears. my doctor said their was no ear wax but my ears look inflamed so i have been given otocomb otic ear drops. the drops are clogging up my ears and i can barely hear. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Otocomb: Otocomb ear drops are quite effective for the treatment of otitis externa(inflammation/infection of the ear canal). Apparently you don't have this problem or build-up of earwax. If you haven't been examined by an Otolaryngologist, see one. If you have already been seen by one, get a second opinion by a neurootolaryngologist at the department of otolayngology at a university hospital near you.

Question 8

hi when i lay down on the back of my head for some reason i get this numbness feeling on the left side of my head especially when i use a pillow. as s?

Accepted Answer

Pressure: This is most likely positional, temporary and due to pressure on the superficial nerves of your scalp and has nothing to do with any brain pathology especially if you don't have this symptom any other time. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you if you have further concerns.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Consult PCP or ER: Facial numbness can possibly be a grave symptom of an underlying medical condition.  You should consult pcp or oral surgeon or er asap.

Question 10
