The Bloody Coin game is a dangerous activity frequently played among children and is becoming increasingly widespread. In this article, we aim to present a patient treated for a serious hand infection requiring hospitalization due to this game. A 13-year-old girl was admitted to our plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery clinic with a large erythematous area on the dorsum of her right hand. The patient was diagnosed with cellulitis, and clinical improvement was achieved with intravenous antibiotic therapy, elevation, dressing, and immobilization. The Bloody Coin game is a dangerous game posing a threat to children’s health in our country. Appropriate measures should be taken by health and education authorities.
