A member asked:

What is the best way to get out dry blood in ear canal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best to Ask: I have always flushed with peroxide. If there are no tubes or holes in the eardrum.Do not insert anything such as a cuetip.Best to ask your doctor. And most likely if you leave it alone, the blood will come out naturally.
