Your ear is deformed.
The deformation happened at some point in your life. If a person suffers a blow to the ear, blood can collect there beneath the skin. This type of bruising can damage the cartilage in the ear muscle. If the ear suffers repeated bruising, in particular, the ear conch or auricle may then become deformed.
