Some young people like to wear piercings on their ears A row of earrings or earrings is considered fashionable. But in fact, piercing the cartilage of the auricle is much more dangerous than piercing the earlobe.

In case of infection, the anti-inflammatory antibiotics used to treat the infection will not be effective in the auricle. If the infection is severe, it is likely to develop into purulent perichondritis and even cause atrophy of the auricle. Moreover, even if the auricle recovers well after the auricle is pierced, the position of the auricle is more susceptible to collision or pulling. This long-term stimulation of the cartilage may cause cartilage inflammation, thickening and other problems again. In addition, you must not pierce the tragus (the "little ear" outside the ear hole). If the injury is too deep, it may lead to facial nerve paralysis.
