Cauliflower Ear Picture

Cauliflower ear, also known as wrestler’s ear or boxer’s ear is a condition where there is a deformity in the outer ear of a person. This condition shrivels up the ear and causes it to fold within itself and look pale thus giving the ear a cauliflower like appearance. This is how the injury gets its name from.Particular people such as boxers, wrestlers and martial artists are more prone to acquire this type of injury. This condition arises when the ear of that person is struck hard and blood clotting takes place under the skin. In some cases the skin gets cut off from the cartilage, therefore the connection between the skin and cartilage is damaged.
