ABSTRACT
Ear piercing is a primitive tradition among the human being. It reflects the culture of many religions, tribes, and communities, predominately adopted by the females. We reported a sixteen years old girl with painful swelling of both pinnas for last one month following piercing the pinna. She was treated locally by general practitioner without significant improvement. On examination frank abscess were detected in both pinna. Under general anesthesia incision drainage and deep curettage was done. She was treated with ciprofloxacin 750 mg 12 hourly for 2 weeks and recovery was uneventful. After one month she developed unsightly cauliflower ear. With this report we want to sensitize our community regards the risk of transmission of needle prick diseases and deformity of pinna following ear piercing
