My ears are in extream need of help

[Panicckk]

i think i destroyed my ears. I have been stretching for a while now, and in december, i hit size 2. Its been 4 months now, and im still at size 2. Between those 4 months, i attempted to go to a 0g, twice, but failed both times. my ears would bleed and sting when i tried to go to the 0, so i would stop and wait. my ears will not heal. i will describe to the best of my ability of what they look like.
without the polysporn: perfect shaped holes, but extreamly dry on the lobes, around the hole, peeling and itchy. They oozze like a gross sticky liquid that hardens.
with polysporn: I have been putting it on for about a week straight, (some days missed) but when i wake up, and after shower, the ears are still dry and itchy and peeling. only difference is that there is no gross oozzing. but it still wont heal.

also, the inside of the hole doesnt look to swell. when i flip my ear to see the inside, it is red around the rim of the hole, as if it is ready to bleed, but more in the center of the hole, the skin is white. looks dead. its also a soft tissue, kindof looks like a blister. both ears are like this.

the thing that freaks me out is the skin that wont heal, continues to be dry, and the white skin on the inside of the hole. heelllllppp. i want to stretchhhh. sorry for the detail of the ears. i tried not to sound to gross

i bled a bit goin to 0 g. ur ears domt look to bad, u just needa use jojoba oil, r ur plugs made of glass or steel? it sounds like u need to stop stretchin for a couple months. make sure ur cleanin them in the shower but not overcleaning them

This dude today at Wal-Mart was telling me about the blowout in one of his ears. He said its happened 2 times, so now he just stays at a 1/2". I asked him "what are you stretching with" and he said a "Sharpie pen cap".

I don't know how that pertains to this lol but it just made me think of it.

By the looks of your pictures, your ears don't look to bad

I would wait for them to heal up at 2g again. Then get some 0g stainless steel tapers and stretch em. Your stretching your ear.. pain may/will be involved..

If your ears just cant take the jump, get some teflon tape and gauge your ears at a slower pace, just by adding a few strips of tape around your plugs.

It looks like whatever you are using on your ears is drying them out. I would get some jojoba oil and do some oil massages and stay at 2g for a bit longer, until they look healthy again.

hahaha that made me laugh.
Hm... but the thing is my ears just wont heal! im thinking its because i use tapers instead of plugs for the jewlery. but im switching this weekend because im deffinately tired of the none healing.

OH man! ive used teflon and had to take a knife to it. i had to saw off the tape because my ears were so messed up from the tape. but then again, i did 10 layers... might have been to thick. it hurt soo badly. my ears stuck to the tape like glue. ew.

thats another question. how many layers would i go up by with the teflon tape?
i dont think my ears can take the jump. i heard they are NOT sappose to bleed. but they do each time i attempt to stretch. hm.

yeah i thought what i was using is probably drying my ears out, but with the 3 months i wasnt using anything, they were still extreamly dry? but ill try that. or bio oil? is that okay?

Bio oil is magic.

[Panicckk]

kay my ears are drenched with bio oil. now we wait. thanks guys. any other tips would be awesome

lol dont just drench them, massage the oil in, it will help thicken them as well as moisturize them.
