A member asked:

My ear started to hurt and itch just now. i was itching it and then it started bleeding. i just want to know what it could be or what to do.

Avoid irritating ear: It seems to me that you somehow injured your ear canal and hence bleeding. It should stop and not come back unless you irritate it again. aif the bleeding and/or itching persists, then you need to see your primary doctor.

If your inner ear itches and then hurts; what causes it and what should you do about it? It was itchy last year and the dr. Said to put cortisone cream on it and the itching went away, but not for long. Repeated the procedure. Helped, but not for long.
