A 25-year-old lady came in complaining of severe pain in her right ear. She got her ear pierced 3 days before the presentation, and it had become sensitive 2 days afterwards.
The sensitivity and accompanying throbbing discomfort were becoming steadily worse. The patient, who had previously had her ears pierced, denied having a fever, chills, or recently traveling abroad
She was quite clean since she showered often and went to the gym often. A red, swollen ear was palpable during the physical examination (FIGURE).
