\"\"<\/a>A deformed, painful ear caused by repeated friction and trauma to the ear.<\/p>\n

\n

The term applied to the distortion of the external ear produced by repeated injury in sport. Initially it is due to a haematoma in the auricle. To prevent deformity the blood should be drawn off from this haematoma as soon as possible, and a firm pressure bandage then applied. Subsequent protection can be given to the ear by covering it with a few layers of two way stretch strapping wound around the head.<\/p>\n

\n

A severe burning pain in a limb in which the sympathetic and somatic nerves have been damaged.<\/p>\n

\n

A colloquial term for a thickening of the external ear resulting from trauma. It is commonly seen in boxers. Plastic surgery may restore the ear to a normal shape.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

A painful and swollen deformity of the pinna, also known as the ear flap, occurs as a consequence of blows or friction that have led to bleeding in the soft cartilage of the ear.<\/p>\n

\n

Immediate treatment after an injury involves applying ice-packs to reduce swelling. In severe cases, a doctor may need to drain blood from the ear and apply a pressure bandage.<\/p>\n
