				downsize to the smaller size on the cracked lobe (several sizes down), treat it like a new piercing until its fully healed (sea salt soaks, vitamin e oil massages and NO silicone) and then try again.  as a rule of thumb, silicone is bad unless your ears are fully healed for a very long time.  they harbor bacteria and if your ears aren't healed can fuse to your skin.  hope this helps!!

				Agreed. Also avoid wearing silicone long-term because it can dry out your lobes pretty badly. I don't usually wear silicone for more than a few days. Try glass, titanium, or at least steel.

 same here I only wear silicone during a day and never sleep in it or wear it in the shower . Its just my preference .
