Well, as you can see in the title. I'm asking if I may be getting some Cauilflower ear, I have 2 photo's - 1 is my ear that looks normal, the other is the bad ear... Well, here it is.

Good =

Bad =

I would appreciate all of your comments very much, thank you all in advance.

Maybe I can descibe it better... It's very sensitive, hurts to the touch. I can't hold the phone to it, sleep on it etc without it hurting.

I think the problem is that your left ear is nicely tanned while your right ear could really use some exposure to the sun.

If you're not cheating, you're not giving 100%.

I've had the same thing (sore ears) but it ddin't develop into full cauliflower. If you reall want it, hit yourself a few hundred times in the ear and you can be a real man Tongue

Hahaha, I don't necesarilly want it. I am just wondering if it is becoming cauli, it's getting larger... not sure if it is or not for sure but it sucks. Most anoyying part is I can't sleep on the ear, which is usually how I sleep!

use both hands and gently squeeze around on your ear were it hurts and see if you can feel a bubble squirt into your other pinched fingers thats holding the sore spot,if you can feel the liquid inside move around.you have cauliflower ear,if not you just have a sore ear which happens alot.
i have it pretty bad in my left ear and have alot of juice inside my ear hole now that i keep having to drain.good luck.

Thank you very much for the response, I only felt a little bit squirt and feel squishy. Not sure where it went... haha it did it once and now I can't find it again. I'm hoping this will just go away, oh well if it don't - I'll take it as a badge of honor!

I used to get sore ears that interfered with my sleeping. No cauli. Then I got headgear. Problem solved.

Hard to tell from the pics, but both my ears got cauli after about 6 months to a year training. My ears would get sore at times before they ballooned up, but nothing more than that. I had both of mine drained and you cannot really tell I ever had it.

If you are concerned about it, I suggest some head gear, or stay out of triangle chokes Laughing out loud

I was getting some cauli, so i started to swap some vasaline all over my outer and inner ear. This was just when I wasn't even hurting. When I actually do get somehow miraculously hurt, I pop out the headgear.

Lastly, I try to keep my hands turtled around my head anyways to try to prevent any smashing on my auricles to begin with.

I like my ears Big smile

After seeing Saku's ear fall off last night, I think headgear is a wise move.
