Question

on friday i stretched my ear from 2g to 0g they were sore and swallon for a day but went down. my right ear is not in much pain anymore i can barely feel it. but my left ear hurts still and got fat and recently started to bleed a tiny bit and pus a bit. i took my gauge out to see the damage its crusty and liquid i dont know what to do i really don't want to downsize or anything i tried to clean it with soap and water to see what that would do. but is their anything else? please help me >.<

Answer 1

You might not want to downsize, but do you really want your ears to heal wrong and have them look awful?



Stretching should never ever cause soreness, swelling, crust, blood or pus. You really really need to downsize, put sterilized surgical steel or titanium single or no flared plugs, and leave them alone for awhile. You need to be waiting 2-3 months between stretches, if you're not, that's what caused them to get messed up.



What are you using to stretch? At this size, it's good to start following the taping method to stretch your piercings. Tapers can cause a lot of trauma when stretching in bigger sizes.
