Jewelry in stretched holes

Hi guys! Soon, I'm planning on my first stretch, up from my current well-healed 10g lobes to an 8g, and my target size is 6g. I know I'll have to wait a few months between 8g and 6g, and I need stationary jewelry to heal around (like plugs or captives). What I'm curious about is, do I leave...

Downsizing From Larger Gauges

Hi, all! Here's an open question to anyone who has ever gauged down a size: Why did you decide to gauge down, and how much success did you have in the healing process and reaching your smaller goal size? Did you use any special products or massage techniques? If you're comfortable with it, please...

any thoughts?

around 5 years ago, the piercer at the shop where I apprenticed pierced both my earlobes with a 12g (I think). After awhile, I started to move up a size every month or so. No problems, no tears, bleeding, etc. Just some hotness, redness, and pulse beating in the lobes (you know). So I stayed at a 2g...

Blowout?

Well, I have just recently started stretching my ears. I got them pierced at a 8g and then waited a month and a half or so before I decided to try to go to a 6g. I use a sea salt spray about 4 times a day. I got the 6g tapers and a set of 6g metal tunnels, so I put the tapers in they went in with a little...

Nasty yellow-like pus?!

I just stretched my lobes to 0g a few days ago and ever since I've had nasty yellow/clear liquid around the stretch. Is it normal? or am I dying? :O

Healing and care methods

Im having trouble getting my ears to heal. I recently stretched a week ago from 5/8 to 11/16. About 3 days later they started getting red, warm to the touch, flaky and scaly, and my lobes and surrounding tissue began to get hard. I bought and started using some over-the-counter-antibacterial cream and...

are my lobes screwed?

Long story short, I messed my lobes up a long time ago when I forced a stretch from 4g to 0g. Dumb, I know, I'm not even sure what I was thinking at the time. Now I make sure to stretch gradually and I downsize regularly along with daily massages. However, I've been left with these nasty blowouts...

healing

I stretched my ears to a 4g and have been using vitamin a&d ointment. I am not having any trouble with the healing process, but just wanted to know if it was okay to use

Re: Stretching/Headling ... smelling?

Ohhhh .... so this is the infamous ear cheese. I don't want to overwash ... I read somewhere on here that that was bad too. I have steel in right now. Thank you for the advice! - E

Stretching/Headling ... smelling?

Hello again all. Thanks to everyone for the advice and assistance in my original post (http://forums.bodyartforms.com/forums/t/18375.aspx). I took my jewelry out and had a friend really examine my ears. She said the holes were not red at all and you could see clean through no problem. I think when I...
