Thanks for reaching out about your hamster. It seems the scab fell off, probably from scratching. The tumor probably still remains and will likely grow back. Surgical removal via a scapel, laser or cryo-apparatus could be used to lessen hemorrhage. At this point, continuing the ear drops might help to prevent secondary infections. Good luck.
