Hello,

Nothing to worry about it, if tympanic membrane is perforated, then your hearing may be diminished and ear may bleed.

I think, it may be not perforated and just touched the membrane. My diagnosis is not confirmatory. So to confirm, need to consult ENT specialist he do endoscopy of the ear and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
