Well, stretching should not cause any open wounds that need healing but if it does, sea salt soaks are the best aftercare. Mix 1/4 teaspoon sea salt per one cup hot water (it's VERY important not to get it too salty) and soak for 5-10 minutes once or twice per day.
If you stretch correctly and you have no pain or damage to your lobes, wait a couple days and then just start taking them out once a day and rinsing them with whatever soap you have. You can do it in the shower or at the sink. You can also do oil massages with emu oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, naked oil, etc. After you take a shower just massage a few drops of those into your lobes (without plugs in) for a few minutes.
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!
