What is cauliflower ear?

Cauliflower ear results from trauma to the ear that causes blood to pool and harden. It is common in wrestling and BJJ. Wear headgear to prevent it. If you get ear trauma, drain it quickly and compress it to prevent permanent deformation. Some people wear cauliflower ear as a badge of honor.
