Cleaned Ear With Qtip. Blood Seen On Qtip. Feels Pressure, No Pain, No Pus. What Does This Mean?
I cleaned my ear with a qtip this morning and i got alot of wax out. There was a tiny bit of blood on two qtips that i used. There is no serious bleeding at all...it was a tiny amount of blood like from a pimple . I do have some acne as well...there is NO pain, no pus , just a tiny bit of pressure...which i think i am over-reacting.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The tiny amount of bleeding you had after cleaning your ear is likely to be due to an injury caused by the q-tip in the ear. For such minor problems usually no treatment is needed and these do subside on their own.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
