i have some on my right ear, and i drained it so many times i gave up and let it finally get hard.

My ears have been ok, but I was wondering is there like cream or something I could buy that could help prevent my ears from cauliflower?

[boboskitchen]

what if i get it, dont drain it but keep wearing headgear?

[Knots619]

i tired to drain my ear once with a doctor at my university and he said my ear wasnt flowered enough to be drained and if he tried to drain it it might get infected, he said my body should drain most of the fluid itself, and it did.

not i still ended up with a small amount of cauliflower but not as bad as i expected

While that is true, it is one of the ugliest and most annoying badges of respect out there. Black belt of wrestling my ass - it's ugly, uncomfortable and unnecessary.

You say you "wouldn't mind cauliflower" and that makes it sound you've never had it. I think you might chance your mind if your did. Anyway - if you want it, go get it. It's not that hard.
