ABSTRACT
Piercing of various parts of the body is common practice in Korea nowadays. In particular, ear piercing appears to be increasingly prevalent among adolescents and young-adults. Because of the complication of the procedure, auricular perichondritis after piercings can arise in this patient population. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common causative organisms associated with infections due to ear piercing. In most cases, however, the patients were not prescribed anti-pseudomonal antimicrobial agent at presentation. This may result in persistent complicated infection and permanent cosmetic deformities. Herein, we describe two cases of post-piercing auricular perichondritis caused by P. aeruginosa successfully treated with intravenous antimicrobial agents. Also, a literature review of auricular perichondritis after ear piercing was done.
