HELP! I wish I had been smarter when I was young..

I'm a 00g right now, and have been for some years now. I recently found this forum (wish I did more searching in my younger years and found it sooner..)

My question might be fairly stupid, and if there's another thread someone can direct me to, to get my answers, a link would be appreciated.

Well, let's start with I was young and fairly dumb, haha, I really jumped into stretching without knowing too much about it. All I knew is that you shouldn't go too fast, and it shouldnt hurt or bleed ect. When I remove my plugs, it doesn't exactly resemble, but is close enough, that it's safe to say it's "catbutt".

Since it's been the 00g for so many years, (I didn't know this was a problem so I never downsized..), what can I do to fix this? I jumped from a fairly small guage RIGHT to 00, so I have no plugs that are a size or two smaller to switch to.. and after so many years, is it going to even make a difference? Or am I screwed now.

If going smaller even after so long will help, I'll do it asap! If not, what can I do? If I *properly* stretch larger, will it help to fix it by tearing then healing how it should? Or stretching larger to "tear" it, then downsizing right away, will fix the problem?

This is a lot of typing, and I thank you SO much for reading it all, and even more if you can say anything to help me out. Thanks!

If you KNEW you shouldn't go too fast, it shouldn't hurt or bleed in the first place, then why the fuck did you jump from a small piercing straight to 00g?

The only thing you can do that would help now is oil massages, and even then you'll most likely be stuck with ear lobes that look like a grandma's asshole forever.

By going too fast, I meant shoving it through in one day, which I didn't do. I had no idea about not jumping from a 8g to a 00g. It didn't hurt or bleed either, so I didn't panic or think anything was going wrong.

Also, thanks for the reply, but you didn't need to be a jerk about it. "Sorry about your luck, it's going to be like that forever." would have sufficed. Everyone does something stupid in their lifetime.

Then maybe next time you should reiterate what you mean, so that people don't think that it's what you did.
When people say they've "done something wrong" on these forums, it's always better to be prepared for the worst than it is for the best.

If I were you, I'd downsize about 2 sizes and let my lobes naked at night, do regular oil massages with e-vit oil.

Good luck :)

Thank you.
I've been keeping the jewelry out for a few hours each day and have been rubbing vitamin e oil each time aswell, it doesn't look like it did a week ago, so I'm thinking I was wrong (thankfully) and it just needed time away from the jewelry and some extra lovin'. I'll still probably get some smaller guages when I get paid to just add extra luck xD

You really don't need to be a prick dude.
Like they said, everyone does something dumb.
Some more than others, like me.
For example, check the sig.

I fail to see how I was being a prick.
I was simply stating facts.
