please tell us what it finally was.
I went to the ENT once because I had ear pain after diving (a few hours later) and she saw plenty of blood in it, it was an outer ear infection.
 
Hey all,

Spent a solid 40 minutes with my ENT today who, after using all the tools at his disposal, told me I have no perforations in my eardrum and no barotrauma. Looks like it was some ruptured vessels in the ear canal. How do you spell WHEW?!

I'm back for another checkup next week and should be back in the water soon after that.

Thanks for your responses.

Best,

Guess you don't need any more advice.. but similar thing happened to me. No big deal, but the blood was a scare!!! Glad it worked out for you!! Happy diving!
