What causes ear canal bleeding?
Patient: Hello, so i was cleaning my sons ear tonight with wet q-tips and of course there was a lot of build up because he doesnt let me clean them often maybe once. A month or two, but as i was cleaning i happen to see pink spots on the q-tip (blood) immediately stopped! Should i be concerned? Should i take him to the doc? Doctor: Thanks for asking on healthcaremagic. Ear wax is a substance produced by the ear canal and helps in keeping it lubricated. It comes out on its own and you need not clear it periodically unless there are specific problems. Certain drops like Ceruklean can be helpful if required. While cleaning you might have inadvertently caused some injury and it would be better to get it examined by a ENT doctor.Hope that answers your query. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
