Blood in Ear wax: Hello, if no trauma or infection was present in the recent past, what you are seeing is probably normal cerumen or ear wax that often times changes in appearance due to varying factors. One of them could be moisture in the wax. A visit to your ENT doctor may be helpful to confirm my suggestion.
