Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The explanation of the mass, pain in the ear which gives pus and blood, pus on needle puncture and yet the size remains the same indicated that this is a polyp in the ear.
you need :
CT Scan of the mastoids to see for the origin of the polyp.
IF superficial,, simple scrapping can help a cure.
But is it is coming from inside you will need a formal operation on the mastoid.
