Hi doctor, I am a 17 years old male, I was boxing earlier and I got punched on my ear, it is bruised now and I am worried it might develop into cauliflower ear. Do you think I should get it checked out by a doctor?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Cauliflower ear, also known as perichondrial hematoma or wrestler's ear, is a deformity of the ear caused by trauma. Cauliflower ear occurs when blood pools in your pinna after it's been hit or struck. The pinna is your outer ear. This pooling of blood, known as a hematoma, needs to be treated right away. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
