It's taken me a year and a half to stretch my ears to a 00g, which I've had since February (I really take my time.) I just recently started massaging them with Bio Oil because as soon as I take my plugs out- BAM, cat butt.
I'm not sure how my ears have become this gross, but there's a few possible reasons in my head:
1) The only store in my city that sells plugs and tapers only sells acrylic and silicone.
2) When I first started stretching my ears the lady that sold me the earrings said "no pain, no gain" when it came to stretching.
Is there any way to reverse this effect? Thanks for any input!
