I just recently put in some 4g tapers, they are acrylic, I don't skip any sizes and I wait at least a month or two before I move up a size, I clean my ears regularly and they don't get chapped or dry or anything, but recently when I clean them I have noticed a little blood, I'm afraid I tore my ears, should I go down a size until they heal more, or should I keep the 4gs in until they heal? I'm really afraid, I don't want to have a blowout or the cat butt effect, please help.

its always better to downsize. it relieves some of the pressure and lets your ear heal faster. also do sea salt soaks (1/4 teaspoon non-iodized salt for every 1 cup warm/hot water) one or twice a day for 5 mins

If your lobe is bleeding. Take out the tapers, you shouldn't be wearing them as jewelry and they're acrylic, not something you'd want in a lobe that might have a tear.
Downsize with a suitable material for a healing piercing. Like glass, steel, or titanium.
Sea salt soaks once a day should be fine.

Thank you guys so very much, I'll definitely soak them and downsize
