Local infectious complications

Local infectious complications account for 10 to 20% of piercings. Those at the ear lobe are the most common because of the "automatic guns" that are difficult to clean and sterilize.

They are mainly caused by hollow needles poorly cleaned or poorly sterilized.Hepatitis B and C are transmitted by this mode of contamination. The AIDS virus is also transmitted via this route. However, there is currently no formal proof.

Allergic complications

They are mostly contact dermatitis, mainly caused by materials such as nickel, metals malleable and cheap.
