Hey guys! So about 2 weeks ago I stretched my ears from 10g to 8g and only waited about 13 days between( first mistake). I'm never doing that again. About 2 days after the stretch my lobes became swollen and painful to touch so I took out my steel tunnel and squeezed my ear. Lots of puss and some blood came out and also what seems to be the inside of my lobe. This only comes out when i squeeze and push from the back of my lobe. I have been doing this cleaning every day and now they're not swollen anymore but still the fleshy lobe comes out when I squeeze and push from the back. I never downsized but now it seems like there's no pressure on the jewlery. It spins freely without pain and doesnt seem to be squeezed tightly by my lobe. Should i continue this squeezing/cleaning daily? Any advice is appreciated.

Is this stuff any good?

From the picture it doesn't look like a blowout but from your description it does. The best thing for you to do is downsize and treat it like a new piercing. Don't worry about the oil until your lobes are fully healed. Then you can start massaging each lobe (without jewelry) with a few drops of oil every day after you shower. This will help break down scar tissue and keep them healthy. Good luck, hope it heals well for you.

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!

I've never used it but most people seem to love it! I need to get myself some one of these days... I've used emu oil, Naked oil (basically the vegan version of emu oil), jojoba oil, and vitamin E oil. They're all about the same to me... emu oil is probably my favorite even if it is a little gross!
