Transcartilaginous ear piercing complications
Abstract
Introduction: Transcartilaginous ear piercing performance is common practice in adolescence. The injury to skin and cartilages with the local insertion of a foreign body increases the risk of infection.
Material and methods: Complications related with ear piercing performance in the last year were reviewed.
Results: Three patients suffered from transcartilaginous ear piercing local complications. Their ages range between 15-25 years old. The first one, developed an abscess in the pinna`s area, which needed drainage. The second one presented a perycondritis that was treated by antipseudomonal antibiotherapy. The third one, presented a keloid scar after 2 months of ear piercing removed. Any of the three cases developed irreversible defects.
Summary: Transcartilaginous piercing may lead to ear deformity and functional defects. Its performance must be done in aseptical conditions to minimize associated morbidity.
