For some crazy reason, I had blood coming out of my right ear. No, I hadn't injured myself in any way.
The doctor could see the blood, dried inside the opening. I was afraid that my ear drum had broken, but she assured me that it looked fine. What a relief!
Now, I need to go see an ear/nose/throat specialist, to find out why this happened. Good grief, if it's not one thing, it's something else!
I don't have any pain in my ear, which is a real blessing:)

My daughter and I were clowning around, in front of the Tawas high school. We had attended Zachary's graduation ceremony and our husbands were teasing us like crazy!

@kobesbuddy You DO look so much alike. Were you ever mistaken for being sisters when she was a teenager? My mom and I were, and she got a kick out of it.

@AmbiePam I gave Zachary (my daughter's son) a ride down to Tawas beach one day. He was meeting his girlfriend at the beach. A couple friends spotted us together and teased Zachary, about having two girlfriends! He hollered back, "No, this is my grandma!" lol

Glad that it wasn't ear drum problem ! However You had better have a checkup to see where on earth the blood came out of.

Yes, when blood comes out of one ear, it's a sign that something is wrong.

Hopefully you just somehow scratched the inside by accident in your sleep or something?

The ear canal is too small, I could never reach inside that tiny opening.

@RebeccasFarm Again today, there is blood inside my right ear. Not very much, but even a small amount is too much!

@kobesbuddy I guess it's because they are both sort of 'in your head'.

This is strange, bleeding out of one ear. Today, it's only dry blood, not fresh blood.

@kobesbuddy That must be a good sign. Hope it's good news when you see the specialist.

I hope it's something minor. That would be disturbing though. I love the picture! Take care and let us know what the ENT doctor says.

I won't be able to get into a ENT doctor for another six months. They are booked up to the ceiling!

Maybe you scratched it and the nail got in. If it had been something, if would hurt.

Actually, the bleeding is way inside my ear canal. I can't reach inside, it's very small. Yet, I don't have pain, which is good news.

@kobesbuddy As you have no pain, that could be what happened.

That is odd. I hope that you find out what caused it to bleed.

That is odd... I hope the specialist can help you.
It's a good picture but you should tease your daughter about keeping her eyes open next time.

Very nice photo. I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well. I am one of those odd people who have never had a bloody nose or a bloody ear,

@kobesbuddy it might not be of any help but I just remembered that I once did get a bloody ear. I am a sinus sufferer and one time my sinuses got so congested I had a headache all night. The next day I was better and figured it would all just go away with the over-the-counter sinus pills. However, I cleaned my ears with a Qtip and there was blood in one ear. So off to the doctor and it was so long ago but somehow it was connected with the sinuses and the doc stuck very long things in my sinuses and drained them and after that it all just went away with time, Just saying if you also have had some sinus problems.

My sister used to have a bloody nose every month. Now, I don't think she has this problem.

I have no pain in the right ear, but it's still not a good sign.

Today, the bleeding has stopped. The doctor said probably a skin reaction from various allergies.
