How fast did you stretch? If you rushed your ears could still be trying to recover from that. Also, have you been out in the sun? I remember when I first got my ears pierced at 10G; they were healed and then I was in the sun a lot one week and they got super crusty, itchy, and gross.
If I were you I would definitely get some glass plugs; they're great for sensitive ears. Silicone can really dry your ears out which could be what's causing the flaking. You definitely don't want to have silicone as your long-term jewelry. You could also try sleeping without plugs and even going down a size or two to give your ears some relief.
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!
