A member asked:
I cleaned my left ear this morning carefully with a q tip and see there is a small amount of blood on the tip. i have no pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably some old blood or related to the q tip itself and a little trauma from it. No pain and no active bleeding there is little to worry about
