What Causes Blood On The Ear Bud While Cleaning The Ear?

I have experienced slight bleeding on the cotton bud when cleaning my ear. I have only gone slightly in the ear and not down the smaller section as my ear was clogged with wax which is black and it itches inside too then when cleaning it out it then bleeds slightly . This has happened a few times

Hi
This is probably just a small scratch inside the ear canal and not very serious but you should ad least have a doctor take a look at it
