Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some soreness or scratches in the ears producing bleeding from the wound.
there can be two reasons having bleeding from this site,
1, taking blood thinner medicine like warfearin,
2, might be having high blood pressure.
You might require INR for PT as while on Warfarrin it is a must to see bleeding tendency.
Go for blood pressure checking regularly.
Consult your treating doctor and ask about this.
Ok and take care.
