Hello and welcome to HCM,
A clinical assessment is required to remove the clump of dried blood from within the ear.
I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and removal of clump of dried blood from the ear.
Insertion of any foreign body should be avoided in the ear canal because it can damage the ear drum.

Thanks and take care
