A couple months ago I saw a website that had a very good article on prevention of Cauliflower Ear. unfortunately, I couldn't find it again.

Instead I did find this slight tidbit. I thought I'd post it here for you.

"Because a blow to the ear that causes bleeding and swelling can lead to permanent damage, you should see your doctor for treatment right away. If there's a blood clot, it should be removed, as it can cause destruction of the cartilage, says Dr. Casselbrant. If your ear swells for any other reason, you can try these techniques.

Go soak. If you have an infection on your ear, add three tablespoons Epsom salts to a quart of warm water. Dip a clean washcloth into the solution and place it over the swollen area until the washcloth cools. Repeat this procedure four times a day."

LOL Edro. If I were a fighter and not in some career, I'd make my ears slightly "cauliflowered" and show them off too!
