Pinna perichondritis is an infection of the perichondral lining of the ear cartilage. It is primarily caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus. Patients will present with an erythematous, swollen, hot external ear, with sparing of the lobule. There may also be a collection of pus present.
Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis (CNH) is a benign inflammatory condition that affects the skin and cartilage of the pinna. CNH, also known as Winkler disease, commonly affects the helix of the pinna, though in some cases, the antihelix also may be affected.
The main cause of perichondritis/chondritis and cellulitis is trauma (accidental or iatrogenic, laceration or contusion), including ear piercing, especially when done through the cartilage.
Perichondritis is an infection of the skin and tissue surrounding the cartilage of the outer ear.
Pinna perichondritis typically presents with infection of the cartilaginous pinna and sparing of the lobule (ear lobe), whereas cellulitis does not spare the lobule. This is important because the causative organisms are usually different (see below). The main question is then, 'Is there any abscess or necrosis?'
Ear swelling can be caused by trauma, like from getting hit in the ear by a ball or even getting your ears pierced. Some medical conditions, like an ear infection, can cause your ears to swell. If the swelling is uncomfortable, using ice or heat, on and off, can reduce swelling and lessen pain.
