Suggest Remedy For Ear Bleeding

I had a cold and it was going away, then last night while making a very weak suction with my finger to help my right ear pop it began to bleed some, not a ton, about as much as a small cut, it doesn't hurt but in the last 4 hours it's happened twice more only as much blood for me to know it was there though.

hello

Please dont try to pop your ear or use your finger as it is likely that you have damaged the lining of the skin of the external ear and this is causing the bleeding. If you keep on damaging it , the ear drum may also perforate and cause hearing loss. please keep the ear dry and do not probe it again, you will be fine in a few days.

Thanks
