    Background:

    • Ear piercing is a common cosmetic procedure for children.
    • Potential complications, such as earring impaction, require medical attention.

    Observation:

    • This study describes four pediatric cases of impacted earrings.
    • Impacted earrings present a specific clinical challenge in young patients.

    Findings:

    • The insertion of earrings in children under 10 years of age carries inherent hazards.
    • A higher incidence of complications may be associated with ear piercing in this age group.

    Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should counsel parents on the risks associated with ear piercing in young children.
    • Recommendations include using hypoallergenic materials like sterling silver or 9 ct gold for ear piercing in children under 10 to reduce adverse events.
