Hit in the ear with a paintball! Help!

Got hit in the ear with a paintball gun. Hurt like hell. This happened about 2-4 hours ago.

It bled. It's really red right now. I can hear with the ear hit.

I cleaned it up just now when I got home with alchohol. Yes, bleeding stopped.

It only bled a little bit.

I was using protection. But it went through the skinny part of it.

Will I get cauliflower ear?

I did not notice any swelling.

Am I safe? Is it going to swell? What should I do?

As you had bleeding , if it came out of the ear canal go to the Doctor or the ER and get it checked out.
