What do you make of this?

Yesterday and today, L has had dried blood on her ear in the morning. It's not a lot, but there's no obvious source. We just took a wet q-tip and gently washed the blood off. She does have a nervous habit of grabbing at her ear when she's upset, but she doesn't do it much, and hasn't been doing it more than usual that I've observed. 

Should I be concerned about this, or not?

This is Colton all the time. It's usually because I've cut his fingernails at a weird angle and the grow back sharp- then he scratches his ear in his sleep.

I would think that if it doesn't look like it's coming from inside the ear, it's really nothing to worry about. I would just assume that she pulled on it and scratched it in the process.

DS commonly has small spots of dried blood or tiny scabs in his right ear, he scratches it a lot. Like PP said, I often notice it when his nails are long or if there is a sharp angel when they are cut.  So long as its not from inside her ear, I don't think you have to worry.
