The Flower ear or the boxer's ear is a common deformity of the outer ear acquired through fighting. People that get this injury are mostly boxers, martial artists, wrestlers and fighters. When their ears are struck during fighting and blood inside starts to clot, the link of the cartilage to skin is disturbed. The cartilage, losing its supply of nutrients from the skin because of the clot eventually dies increasing risk of ear infection. When left unattended, the cartilage contracts and withers the outer ear causing a deformity looking like a flower.
