Im using Teflon tape now, so it's hard to tell.
If im not wrong, its not that difficult to remove the plug. Not till the extend where i gotta use force
Hopefully its not scar tissues. It's something like a ball kinda thing ):

It sounds like scar tissue to me... how fast did you stretch?
Start doing oil massages (vitamin E oil or bio oil is best for scarring, but the massaging is what really breaks it down so any oil will do) and leave a LONG time before your next stretch... the scar tissue will make your lobes a lot tougher to stretch if you don't correct the problem now.

I'm Lindsay.
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!

You need a power drill and a bit slightly larger than your current size... jk.
Show us some pics, we'll be able to help you better. but yeah, oil massages are great you should do them anyway.

I doubt showing a picture will help, cause it looks normal. It's only when you feel it

If its kinda like a hard ball u might have a small cyst in ur ears. My gf couldnt stretch her ears without lots of pain even waiting a long time cuz she constantly gets cysts in her ears.
