Mike Swick Shows How To Drain A Cauliflower Ear

Interesting, I never knew that caluiflowering of the ear was treatable, makes sense now.

That’s what’s good about wearing headgear.

He’s a funny guy, and brave for sticking that needle in himself

there’s no pus inside a coulifower ear, only blood and fluids. it’s not an infection, it’s a hematoma…

a blue needle is a 25 G. which is pretty thin.

and it’s blood, not puss – machine is right

Cauliflower ear is a condition in which the cartilage in the ear breaks and fills up with blood and other fluids. Also known as a hematoma aurius, cauliflower ear is common among wrestlers, boxers and other “combat” athletes. Once the cartilage is torn, blood rushes between the cracks, and the body’s defense mechanisms begin clotting the blood. When breakage occurs, the fluid needs to be drained. If it is not drained by the time the clotting process is complete, the fluid in the ear may harden, resulting in permanent disfigurement. The options for getting rid of cauliflower are fairly limited: drain it yourself, have a doctor drain it for you or do nothing. The latter, as mentioned, can leave you permanently disfigured. If you decide to go to the doctor, he will stick a good-sized needle into the hematoma and drain all of the blood and fluid. Multiple treatments may be necessary. If you insist on draining it yourself (which is a BAD idea), you may do what swick did.
