8g-6g... they hurt... help?

Question

okay so I was at 8g and I just stretched them out to 6g, they hurt really bad and one side is swollen with nasty stuff coming out and theother side is just crusty. Should I take them out or will that make it worse?

Answer 1

You need to downsize for a few weeks at least. It was too soon to stretch. Stretching should never hurt, all you should feel is a bit of pressure. Downsize a few sizes, sea salt soaks twice a day and in a few weeks or a month you can stretch up one size.  

Answer 2

I would downsize cause it is the best thing for your ear. That happened to me when i was at 00 but way worse it was gushing blood and it was all raw inside. But i left my gauges in and after like a week of cleaning them they were fine. I would suggest downsizing, but it is really up to you.
