Dizziness, bleeding and discharge from ear

[Tura55]

History: 28 years ago when I was 10 years old I had a cholesteatoma removed from my left inner ear.  It had grown into my nerve and I ended up losing the hearing in my left ear.  I haven’t had any issues since then until now.  About 4 months ago I started experiencing dizziness.  Then I had a brief ear ache for about 2 days.  It went away, but dizziness persisted.  Within the past 30 days the ear has slowly been discharging and within the past 2 days it started bleeding and looks like there’s a blister type growth towards the top of the canal.  It is aching again now as well.  Due to poor insurance, I am unable to see a doctor until next month.  I was shopping to get some sort of idea of what I’m dealing with sooner.  I have photo and video of the ear I took myself with

Hello and welcome to the forum.  I'm sorry this is happening!  In all honesty, I think you need to see a doctor now.  Worth borrowing a little money to do so as you need a firm diagnosis and to receive treatment.  There is a good chance you have a middle ear infection. With this, pastules or blisters can form on the ear drum. There can be bleeding and discharge. Dizziness is also a symptom. To receive antibiotics, you need to see a doctor.  I hope that you'll consider this and get help soon. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ear-infections/symptoms-causes/syc-20351616  Let us know how it goes.
