Wound Slightly Bleeding Just Before Ear Canal
I noticed just a few moments ago that i some small wound , like a scratch or like a small hole, that was slightly bleeding in the region just before the ear canal . What bothers me is that there s this water-like fluid near it, it kind of resembles that fluid i get when athlete s foot. My hearing is so far not affected. So what should I do? Sleep it off or clean it like a normal wound?
