Curious bleeding

[Mik]

Woke up this morning to see bloodstains on the bottom edge of my wedge pillow. Over an inch in diameter, so a fair amount of blood. Neither MFR nor I can find anything that could bleed like that and not leave some trace. It'd be right around where my neck and shoulder meet.

Any ideas? Can skin tags bleed?

[LuFins Dad]

Weird, and potentially worrisome… I wouldn’t assume that it couldn’t be from somewhere a little above and below. Did you check your scalp?

[Mik]

I don't. Yeah, and I'm very aware of any bumps that arise there. I'm not particularly worried, I just want to identify the source.

[Axtremus]

Sorry you’re having this scare.
Confirmed that it’s really blood and not food/sauce/wine stain?

[Catseye3]

Could it be from one of the cats?

[Jolly]

Vampire.

Look for two small holes on jugular vein.

BTW, yes, skintags can bleed.

Any ancillary evidence from your ears, mouth, eyes, nose?

@Jolly

And a new aversion to garlic.

No, that’s the weird thing. If it was nose it would show up in cpap nose pillows. I’m sure it’s not gums because I both floss and water floss every day - no bleeding and gums are all healthy pink and not sensitive. I’m thinking skin tags, but I’d think there would be some trace on the skin.

Bug bite maybe?

[Mik]

A bug bite would not produce this much blood.

[LuFins Dad]

Do the cats get on the bed?

[Mik]

Yeah, but not up here.

[George K]

Is it possible that you had a spontaneous tympanic membrane (ear drum) rupture?

I believe that's a thing.

[Mik]

Speak up. I can’t hear you.

Possible, but it would seem it’s too low on the pillow stack. I use a wedge with two pillows up at the top. No blood on the upper pillows the blood is at the point where the wedge meets the sheet.

I’m scheduling a derma appointment tomorrow and ai need my annual wellness visit anyway so I’ll call my PCP.
