hi! this blood might be due to trauma to the ear canal. but a deeper injury cannot be ruled out.you should consult an ent specialist to look for any deep serious injury. injured Area are raw and more prone to infection so make sure you keep his ear dry. if any discharge occurs immediately go to doctor.
