New to stretching

[linz86]

Hi, Im not new to the world of pierceing got 14 in total but as you can tell I am new to stretching I was wondering if anyone can help me?

I have just had both ears stretched(bottom lobes) to a 1.6mm and my piercing guy just said how to clean it and didn't tell me what was in my ear?how to remove etc or mentioned anything about oil.

If anyone can give me advice and answer a few questions I would appreciate it.
Roughly how long does the are take to heal before I can take the ear piece out(as I have said I'm not quite sure what he used but to the untrained eye it looks as though I just have an stud in) to give both the area and pieces a good clean?

Well thats my main question any other advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

There's a topic already on here about waiting time to remove jewellery after a fresh stretch, could be useful for you to look at.

I think at least for the first couple of weeks it's best not to fiddle about with them too much, just clean around them the best you can and then when it's a little less recent you can remove the jewellery during cleaning, or even over night.

If you could put up a picture of your jewellery, that might be a little more helpful
