I've just woken up from a light nap (I was feeling shattered, 35 weeks pregnant etc) when my right ear felt a bit wet so I put my little finger in it and it came out bright red so I got up and used 2-3 cotton buds to mop up the bleeding! It was bright red, fresh blood, no pain, no pimples or spots that I could feel and it appears to have stopped now.
It gave me a bit of a fright and I'm wondering what it could be? I've been on Dr Google and that's only served to scare me even more what with ear cancer and head injuries etc. The only thing with my ears is that I have to dry them out with cotton buds after I shower otherwise they get horribly itchy and flake a little bit and the last time I did that was yesterday morning, no bleeding or pain then and I don't put the cotton buds far in, just the tips of them.
Another thing that came up on Dr Google was ear bleeding + facial numbness = ear cancer and a few weeks ago I went to see the gp because the right side of my face went numb temporarily, same side as my bleeding ear, which he put down to a migraine (never had one, got no other symptoms) so as you can imagine I'm fearing the worst!
If anyone can shed some light I'd be most grateful.
