ABSTRACT:
Ear piercing is a common practice in many cultures and, although generally considered safe, it can lead to complications such as bacterial infections, allergic reactions, and granulomas if not performed correctly. These granulomas, which result from a persistent inflammatory response, are often associated with the use of inappropriate jewelry, especially hinged or articulated pieces that cause continuous microtrauma at the piercing site.
