My Anthelix Is Very Tender And Feels Dented After A Fall
Hi, I fell down the stairs 3 weeks ago and landed on the anthelix part of my ear on the edge of the step, my ear took the full weight of my body 10 stone. I went to a&e, they glued the wound at the back. 3 weeks on my anthelix is still very tender when lay on and feels dented. Is it just a matter of time to feel better?

Dear, It seems that its not only skin wound there was some injury to cartilage also, however, if there is no swelling just be assured pain will go, avoid manual manipulation of ear, lying down on the side of the ear injured and do hot fermentation with analgesics anti inflammatory like Ibuprofen only will help, if there is no change then a visit to ENT specialist is warranted
