What Causes Red Chunk Of Wax From Ears And Ball Inside Nostrils?
I cleaned my ear with an ear bud and lately ive found its been a red colour.. and when i cleaned my ear today there was a chunk about 4 mm of red (bloody type) wax that fell out of my ear. Also, in my nose there are big balls on each side of the nostril - do you think these are linked?

Hi,
Usually ear wax will be brown or a bit dark in color, since you have noticed red colored wax. It may be due to injury to ear while cleaning. Keep the ear dry for few days., bloody wax will stop. The big balls inside the nose are normal structures called turbinates. Don't worry, some have it big and some small.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
