It does sound like you tore your ear a little bit. It could even be from something like your plugs getting messed up while sleeping or wearing o-rings too tight. How was the stretch itself? Was it completely painless with no resistance? The slight inflammation sounds like you weren't quite ready... if I were you I'd probably downsize. If you really don't want to, just treat them like new piercings and SSS them for a few days. Make sure you do lots of oil massages when they stop being irritated to prevent scar tissue.
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!
