My ear is bleeding?

I've stretched up to 6g with no problems, waited a far bit of time between stretching (2 months) and kept it very clean. But i stretched to 6g 2 days ago, and tonight, i took it out for cleaning and it started bleeding! it have never bled before, and it didn't hurt when i stretched it, so i don't understand why this happened. I didn't know what to do so i put my plug back in, and it seems to have stopped now, have i done the right thing putting it back in, or should i downsize?

What material is your plug? The best thing to do is to take it out and downsize. If you're waiting two months between stretches I don't see why you'd be bleeding.

You could've possibly caused damage because you removed the jewelry too soon. You shouldn't really do anything at all with your jewelry for a couple weeks after stretching. If the plugs are grooved, the groove could've caused trauma and cut your ear or something. Downsize, baby it like hell, try again in another couple months.

the plug is surgical steel. And i'm guessing what you said is right, so i've downsized right now, pretty pissed about having to downsize but its for the best so i don't mind.
