What Is The Treatment For A Lump At The Bottom Of The Ear?

Hi, I got assaulted a week ago which left me with two badly blackened eyes and a lump at the bottom of my ear. The black eyes are healing fine, but the lump at the bottom of my ear doesn't seem to be going down. It is slightly red and painful a little if I touch it. Is it just bruised cartilige taking longer to heal?

Hello
It is not a bruised cartilage and rather may be a collection of blood in the tissues called hematoma and the redness and pain indicate that it may be getting infected.Please meet your doctor , he may need to drain the collection of blood and start you on antibiotics.Please dont delay.

Thanks
