is my ear infected?

i am at 10mm and recently i went to deadstretch to 12mm i have dead stretched previously from 8mm to 10mm and it went fine no blood no pain but this time there was a little blood and now there is a discharge and some scabs i'm not sure if i have a blowout or anything as i cannot see behind and i have taken out the 12mm jewllery and downsized to 10mm i was just wondering is it infected and how can you treat infections?

It's hard to say whether you have an infection or. It without seeing a picture. You may want to downsize more if you continue to have issues at 8mm. That said, of you think you have an infection, you should see a doctor.

i went down to 10mm and my left ear is perfect so i downsized my right and it just won't heal any ways to make it heal quicker or just let it heal naturally

[ast.riske]

You just kind of have to wait it out. Good, warm SSS can definitely help. Just. And sure to get your ratio right or you could irritate your ears more. 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt (sea salt or kosher salt) per cup of water is just about right.

Good luck!
