What Causes Bleeding In The Ear?

my left ear started bleeding, from inside, spontaneosly. it was bothering me after bathing, i did use a q-tip, carefully, and it came out with blood and scab on it. what would cause this? virus, infection, what? when i mentioned it to my son who lives with me, he told me one of his friends who visits our home, frequently, had the same thing happen to him yesterday.

HI
Well come to HCM
If you have tried to clean the ear with the bud then this might have injured the internal ear wall and this could cause the bleeding and this is just nothing to worry because the bleeding would stop on its own and if this is not then clinical examination would be necessary, take care.
