AB  - Blunt  trauma  to  the  auricle  can  cause  abrasions,  ecchymosis,  hematoma  formation,  and  lacerations.  Abrasions  and  ecchymosis  of  the  auricle  require  no  therapy  other  than  oral  analgesics  and  observation  for  infection.1  Some  authors  recommend  the  application  of  topical  antibiotics  to  all  abrasions  as  prophylaxis  for  infection.2  Lacerations  to  the  auricle  are  addressed  in  Chapter  96.  This  chapter  addresses  the  management  of  an  auricular  hematoma.
