| Ahh, that sucks. You have to keep draining it. Before draining, get a shower, or clean the area with soap and water. Once its drained, clean with iodine or alcohol and put antibacterial cream, such as neosporin on it. Then bandage. The ear is prone to infection and you dont want an infection in the head, which is why people usually get it drained at the docs. several people at my gym have gotten staph from cauli ear because they drained it themselves but didnt clean it or bandage it up. The one guy was out of the gym for like 2 months because of the infection.
