What Causes Blood In Ear After Using Q-tip?

I was cleaning my ears the other day with a Qtip and accidentally bumped one into my left ear. When I pulled it out there was blood on the Qtip. Now it is three days later and there is still blood when I check it, and it hurts a little. What could be wrong with it?
