I've recently stretched both my ears up to a 0g. Last time I attempted this with my left ear, it blew out and I knew immediately that it had -- bled, pussy, ikky in general. But this time my left ear was fine, no problem but my right ear is being annoying. At first it was fine, I stretched it extra slow and was putting Savlon on it every day. The only thing I did that I shouldn't have done was take it out when it started to get gungy. After that it swelled up (making me worry that it was going to blow out)

The one odd factor in it, is that it didn't bleed and the only time it's bled is an extemely small amount when I had to take that taper out and put a clean plug in.
It was oozy yesterday morning though and covered in puss (nice, I know), more so then it had been before (when it was 'gungy'), but today (after sea salt soaks and putting some cream my doc gave me for my scaffold on it) it's seeming like it's healing up fine. o.o

I'm confused... What happened? Is it trying to decieve me?

A stretch should never bleed... You should probably downsize a few sizes and give your lobes about 6 months to heal.

 Neither of those instances sound like a blowout.  They sound like you tore the fistula.  downsize and give it some time to heal and try stretching again after several months. 

Out of curiosity, are you wearing the tapers?  Like for more than an hour or so?  What type of lube are you using as you stretch?  What type of plug are you using for stretching jewelry?  How long have you been at 2g?

Ah, okies, :) I'll try that.

I tend to wear the tapers for a couple days. I used to only wear tapers, but haven't done that since I was at 6g. Usually it's until I feel like I could do it without chancing a blow out (I always panic and think I'll get bacteria in there -_-; I'm a bit silly like that). As lube I usually use Savlon or KY, since Savlon helps healing and KY is just a lube. But as far as my plugs go, I usually stick with acrylic since my last metal plug didn't like me much, it was a claw, a bit heavy and it made my ear look warped.
And I was at 2g for about two months, but at 4g for 6 months (I say 4g but it was more like 5g since there was only a tiny difference between the tapers). :)

 tapers should never be worn as jewelry.  they are meant as a way to guide jewelry into a piercing.  Sleeping with them in is a good way to tear a piercing and/or make your piercing really pissed off.  Either of the products you used to lube should be ok, with a stretch... not to slather on while wearing tapers for several days.  And both need to be washed off after the stretch.  They are not lotions or salves that need to stay on there.  Salvon won't help with the healing if you leave it on there.  It will make things worse. 

Stretchign with acrylic is generally a bad idea.  It is porous and harbors bacteria and if you are tearing your fistula the acrylic is holding bacteria to your open wound.  not good.  There are MANY different types of jewelry that are considered OK for stretching.  Steel, titanium, glass... many at decent prices and won't be so heavy that they will weigh down your ear.

 2g to 0g is one of the hardest stretches that most people get to.  Which is why 1g jewelry is more prevalent than any other inbetween size.  Give your ears 5-6 months to heal and then try to go to 1g.

Another way of stretching is with ptfe tape.  WAY easier and if done right way gentler.  Do a search on it and you will find dozens of posts about it.

good luck 

Okie dokes, thanks hun. :) I'll keep all of that in mind when I'm ready to try again with my ear lol.
