What Is The Cause Of Intermittent Bleeding In Ears?

My wife's right ear has been intermittently bleeding for a few months . When I look in it a few months ago , I could not see anything , thought it was a scratch. 2 weeks ago had she had a complete physical with her PMD that did not report finding anything. Over the week end it bled again , I look in her ear an now see a small growth, flesh in color,with a bleeding base, she has no other symptoms and in other wise good health . She does have a port wine stain on the affected side of her face, which does not go directly to that ear.
