I was cleaning my son ears and 1 had black stuff then after the q-tip has blood on it ?

Ear canal trauma: Old blood in the ear canal will form a dark scab. When this scab is detached prematurely, the original scratch underneath is likely to bleed again. It is impossible to determine the cause of the original trauma without an examination.
