Honestly, it sounds like you need to downsize. Stretching shouldn't cause crusties or anything. If you don't downsize, don't start doing oil massages yet because it'll piss off your ears even more. Try sea salt soaks (mix 1/8-1/4 teaspoon in one cup of hot water and soak for 5-10 minutes) until the crusties stop, then wait a long time before your next stretch.
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!
