Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC ..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. ..

As per your complain there is a possibility that the bleeding in ear can be due to injury to Ear canal while cleaning and mild pain can also be due to inflammation of the mucosa of ear canal..
The black sticky substance seems to be ear wax that has been darkened with accumulation of the dust and debris over it..
You need not to worry as there does not seems to be anything serious..
You can simply take Tylenol for pain in case if it is hign and not bearable..
In case if the pain exaggerates then you can consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated for ear infection..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
