Abstract

Piercings are a prevalent cultural and social phenomenon worldwide. Some of the complications of piercings include bleeding, infections, hypertrophic scars, keloid formation, granulomatous reaction, scar sarcoid etc. We report a case of delayed sarcoid-like granulomatous reaction following a religious piercing during the Thaipusam festival. There have been five such cases reported in literature to date.
