Pull back the hair covering your ears, and a pimple the size of a goose egg is clearly visible. For more than 20 years, it has tortured Ms. Feng all the time: the pimples are painful and itchy, and she can only maintain a certain posture when sleeping...and all of this is caused by ear piercing. There are more than one similar case in this city.

When she was young, Ms. Feng was beautiful and dignified. Like many women who love beauty, Ms. Feng had her ears pierced in the earlobes of both ears. She thought that after the wound was healed, she would be able to wear the earrings. What she didn't expect was that a fleshy bump appeared on her left ear. After several treatments, instead of getting better, the pimple grew bigger and bigger, eventually reaching the size of a goose egg. The lump of flesh became a knot weighing on her heart. The pimple was so painful and itchy that Ms. Feng did not dare to sleep on her left side for fear of pressing on it and causing pain. Normally, Ms. Feng would not dare to curl her hair for fear of exposing her pimples and making people laugh.

In order to return to a normal life, Ms. Feng walked into the plastic surgery clinic of the hospital. Director Zhao Muxin said that the bumps on Ms. Feng’s ears are called keloids, and Chinese medicine calls them keloids. Keloid scars are an important complication of trauma and trauma. Burns, trauma, trauma, acne (acne), ear piercing, vaccinations, etc. can all form keloids and scar hyperplasia in varying degrees.

At the hospital, Director Zhao Muxin removed Ms. Feng’s keloid. Zhao Muxin said that many girls do not know that ear piercing is an invasive surgery and must be strictly performed in a sterile environment. After some girls have their ears pierced, pus and water begin to flow. In fact, an infection has occurred. The lesions at the infected site will stimulate the appearance of scars and form scar hyperplasia. Eventually, some patients will develop keloids on their ears.

The reporter learned that there is more than one similar situation in this city. During the interview at the hospital, the young girl Xiao Ai also had keloids due to ear piercing and went to the hospital for treatment. Xiao Ai said that she watched other people get their ears pierced and thought it looked pretty good. She also went to a street shop to get her ears pierced, but she didn't expect a pimple to form. In my impression, the store operators did not disinfect.
