Is it normal where your lobes are rather hard after stretching? (Not those kinda swollen from stretching) Like after a few months? :D

Im using Teflon tape now, so it's hard to tell.
If im not wrong, its not that difficult to remove the plug. Not till the extend where i gotta use force :D

Hopefully its not scar tissues. It's something like a ball kinda thing ):

It sounds like scar tissue to me... how fast did you stretch?
Start doing oil massages (vitamin E oil or bio oil is best for scarring, but the massaging is what really breaks it down so any oil will do) and leave a LONG time before your next stretch... the scar tissue will make your lobes a lot tougher to stretch if you don't correct the problem now.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

You need a power drill and a bit slightly larger than your current size... jk.

Show us some pics, we'll be able to help you better. but yeah, oil massages are great you should do them anyway.

If its kinda like a hard ball u might have a small cyst in ur ears. My gf couldnt stretch her ears without lots of pain even waiting a long time cuz she constantly gets cysts in her ears.
