My dog has an ear hematoma. Is it small? Is the black skin normal?

Question

Just sent a question about Sarge, and there wasn't a reply button. In regards to his aural hematoma, I found a photo so have attached it. I called it 'small' but maybe it's not? We are using the No Flap Ear Wrap to keep him from moving his ears and it works very well. There is also some black skin on the tip from the repeated aspirations, I guess.

From what I can tell from the photo it looks small.. I am not worried about he blackish area. I would continue with the ear wrap for a few more weeks (if he is tolerating it well) and see what happens. Thanks for the photo an additional information!
