Because a cartilage has a "sealing" layer of skin called Perichondrium around of it, an infection trapped inside it will cause inflammation : Results are and a "moderated" swelling, and a red ear which is often hot to the touch.
In rare cases, the infection can spread and reach the cartilage who swells seriously : This problem is called chondrosis or chondromalacia that defined as a softening or a loss of smooth cartilage.
