ive gotten cauliflower ear past two season and i wouldnt trade it for anything but heres an easy fix that saves a doctor visit and bill all you need is a needle, syringe, and an ice cube(if you cant handle the pain but its not that bad) this is simple and easy just stick the needle in the lowest part of the soft area and suck it out. once you get most all of it out pull the needle out and squeese the area towards where you needle as then just ice it down and if possible get an ace bandage and wrap it around so the it keeps your ear pressed against your head. the pain isnt that bad i had to drain mine 5 times this year.
