Blood with ear wax
This morning i was trying to clean my ears and, as usual i was using my bike keys for the same(its not very pointed). I finished doing my right ear and switched to my left ear, when i inserted the key for the 3rd time, i got blood along with ear wax, i did it again and again there was blood. i did not feel any pain or vibration in my ear and after sometime it stopped bleeding but i am worried. What should i do?

You might have injured your ear canal skin. While cleaning. Usually it will heal without much of problem. You should stop cleaning your ears with any sharp objects. If you develop ear pain then you should consult a specialist
