Where is the most dangerous place to pierce the body

It is now popular to pierce your body. Nose rings, belly button rings, tongue rings, eyelids, and gums are all pierced by young people. At the same time, the number of patients seeking medical treatment due to wound infections caused by piercings has been increasing day by day.

The older generation would always use pure gold earrings when piercing their ears, unlike today when various alloy materials are used, such as nickel, cadmium, copper, iron, stainless steel, etc.

Because gold is the most compatible of all metals with the human body. Other metals are more likely to cause further inflammation and infection of the wound due to the body's allergic reaction. Nowadays, various exquisite rings are mostly made of alloy products for durability. Even if the seller claims that they have been sterilized, it is still impossible to avoid infection caused by material allergies in the future.

Certain body parts are actually pierced because the chances of infection are much greater.

For example, it is safe to pierce the skin at the outermost edge of the ear, but it is very dangerous to pierce the cartilage that has almost no blood supply. Nose piercings have the same problem. When making holes on the wings of the nose, there is only soft tissue involved, so as long as you take good care of it, there will generally be no problem of infection. However, if you make holes near the tip of the nose or the midline of the nose bridge, it is very likely to penetrate the nasal cartilage and cause infection in the future.

The Popular Health Network reminds young people that before piercing, they must remember to disinfect thoroughly; it is best to use pure gold earrings; do not force holes in places that should not be pierced; and pure gold earrings should be worn for at least three weeks.
