A member asked:
Hi, i scratched my inner ear, close to my ear drum, a couple days ago with a qtip (i know, dumb). i noticed this morning, then tonight, there's still fresh blood on wound. it doesn't hurt or bother me except if sing or talk a lot or i mess with it?

Ear canal abrasion: Unless you are on blood thinners it should heal itself. just don't mess with it and avoid singing. Keep your ear dry for a few days, don't get water in it from the shower.
