Hi, I ordered your product for my 12 year old daughter. She had ear surgery in June of 2008 to correct ears that were sticking out. Shortly after the surgery her ears started developing blisters or what appeared to be blisters and significant swelling.
We went to see the Doctor several times in our panic. He even came in the office on a week-end when the office was closed. He told us that it was highly unusual and just to put antibiotic ointment on, which we did.
We were in the process of moving out of state a few weeks later. During the following year her ears never improved, in fact they blistered a little a few months later. They continued to heal from the surgery but where there had been blisters the cartilage was becoming deformed.
Needless to say I, as a parent, was very concerned. We went back to Denver where the surgery had been preformed and met with the Doctor last summer to show him and to see what he could do. He said that it was cauliflower ear (that was the first time we had heard that) and that there was nothing he could do except surgically remove the scar tissue. He said that there was no guarantee that it wouldn't happen again.
After I got back home I started to google cauliflower ear and came across your product. I wasn't really expecting much although I am quite knowledgeable about alternative healing products. We started applying the product in the beginning of October and fairly quickly started seeing a change in the appearance of her ears. The ears have become significantly softer and have had a noticably decrease in size. One of the ears had much greater scar tissue on it then the other and that one still does. I am not sure that we will see it go away to the degree that we want but we will still apply your product for a couple of months.
We hope she doesn't have to go back in for surgery. Sorry for the length of this e-mail but I thought you would like to know this story. My daughter is a very smart and pretty 12 year old and it had been very hard for all of us to see her go through the years of her being self concious because her ears sticking out only to now go through the pain of deformed ears...never mind the expense of the surgery!!!!!
Thanks for such a great product.
Sincerely,
Rita C.
