Several days ago i burned the helix of my ear with a hair straightening iron, now i am experiencing shooting pains through the cartilage of my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on size: And depth of burn. If it has extended down to cartilage, it could be serious. Get to a surgeon or plastic surgeon right away.
