Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult an ENT specialist since there is bleeding and when something goes deep it can damage the ear drum which may cause hearing loss.Hope this helps.

Hi,
Presence of blood confirms that there is injury. It is advised that you consult a local ENT surgeon for clinical examination and medication. There might be damage to ear drum, so don't try put any ear drops without examination.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
