A member asked:
If you go see a doctor and after they clean your ears out with a tool is it normal for your ear to bleed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A little blood is ok: A little blood can be normal-the skin of your ear canal is almost paper thin and delicate. When you have thick wax that can be difficult to clean, it is possible that the skin could get bruised or scraped a little bit just like you could get a paper cut, etc. If you are having more than a little blood and a lot of pain then it might be a problem that you should have a doctor check out.
