Question

I was cleaning my ears out with Q tips my ususal routine i don't go to far down but this time it felt like an build up of wax so i really tried to get it out then i noticed blood not much but i continued to check for blood after about 20 min there was like a spec of blood

Answer 1

When the blood dosent stop.  Also if it bleeds more then just a couple of drops.

Answer 2

they are bad for your ears! i would go get them looked at as there was blood.

any wax build up should be removed by syringing not QTips.

i doubt you have done any major damage but my ear doc says you should never put anything bigger than your elbow in your ear!!!! meaning you shouldnt use them! lol
