How do I save my ear stretch?

Question

I had my ear at 1/2" and tried to make it go up to a 5/8th. It got all big and pussey so I took it out for about 10 minutes to clean it out. I could not get the smaller size in and now it is all scabbing up. I am afraid it is going to close. I'm just soaking it in hot water right now. Is there anything I can do to save it? Thanks

Answer 1

Ouch. Yeah...sounds like you ripped your ear. Here's a suggestion. Get yourself some tapers and GRADUALLY gauge up that way. I about ripped my ear doing the same move. But before doing that,  I think it's best that you let your ear heal first. Or...it's gonna hurt more. =[[ Do you have any other size gauges lying around that you put in instead of forcing your 1/2"? Perhaps some 7/16"? If do, put them in and care for your ear. Give it some time. It'll heal and you'll be able to taper your way up to 5/8" in no time! =]]

Hoped I helped some. =]]

Good luck! ^_^

Answer 2

clean it really well

and then after that get

whatever size plugs you have

that fit in there and leave it in

there. This happened to me...

i had to go from a 2 all the way

down to a 10 :/ it sucked but just

do that.

Good luck.
