It look like an external wound to the outer ear flap. It is hard for me to see the wound because of the paste. From what I can tell it looks clean and not too inflamed. I think you are doing fine with the tumeric paste. I would keep using that until the wound is healed. Great job! I hope this helps. Best wishes!
