Ear wax will get cleaned naturally . We no need to clean it with buds . If you do so wax will be pushed deeper in and get hard and impacted .
You could have damaged the ear canal skin or ear drum . Dat could be the reason for bleeding . Don’t do anything . Leave it . Clots forms and it heals naturally. If you have a pain than contact near by ENT doctor
