What Causes Bleeding In Ears?

I cleaned my ears this morning and I noticed blood on the Q-tip from the right ear. All day I've had this kind of itchy feeling in that ear and when I checked just now I found a little more blood. I'm unsure what to do or if it's serious. My hearing isn't impaired or anything.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
You should not clean your ears . The bleeding could have occurred because of the
trauma to the ear canal.
You should wait and watch and do not clean your ears.
If there is facility of an ent specialist then you could go to him and get ear examination and take medicines.
If there is no pain then there are less chances of trauma to the ear drum.
In doubt do reply
