Patient's question:
While using a cotton swab to clean the ear, I accidentally scratched it open. There was a small amount of blood on the cotton.Doctor's answer:
Possibility: 1 Improper force and posture 2 Whether you have had chronic otitis media (unlikely) 3 Frequent ear cleaning leading to easy damage to the ear mucosa. 4 If you have money and time, you can check your blood count (it is recommended if you have other easy bruising symptoms). But generally speaking, if it doesn't hurt and doesn't affect hearing, there is usually no major problem. Don't be too nervous.
