A member asked:

Typically how long does cauliflower ear stay in a liquid form?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Days to weeks: I have had cauliflower ear many times. If you drain it, it can come back quickly. If you leave it (and don't continue to irritate it), it will absorb, and harden in a few weeks. Draining it, keeping pressure on it, and a little time off, will usually stop it from coming back.
