Hello,
Please clarify it it is from the ear lobe or the external ear. If bleeding is from outer part then it can be controlled by proper cleaning and dressing. But if there is bleeding and or seeping of fluid from ear canal then middle ear may be involved or there may be a damage to ear drum (tympanic membrane). So it is necessary to get the ear examined by the ENT specialist and proper treatment needs to be taken.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
