What is most likely happening is when your went to a og is that your ears might not have been ready and your ears probably dont like the acrylic some people have problems with it. If im stretching with acrylic I wait longer until I dont need to use the taper and just wear the acrylic plugs that way my ears arent so sore and heal with acrylic because I do have problems with acrylic too. What I would suggest doing is getting some custom or just regular metal plugs because they are a little nicer on your ears or order some nice ones off amazon and other plug selling websites. To help your ears heal you can downsize, or what I would go with is staying at that size and doing saline/ sea salt soaks and oil massages. Since fall is coming metal plugs arent the best because they make my ears cold but your at a smaller size so it might not be that bad. Be extra sensitive with your ears and wait a long time (3-4 months) to stretch your ears again because in the picture they seem to have red sore wrinkles (cat butt) which is probably just cause your ears are sore and unhealed. Dont push your ears going to a 0g is a big stretch I sorta had the same thing happen cause I thought my ears were ready but they werent and I stretched them which hurt really bad and then I left in the tapers cause i couldnt get my plugs in and they were throbbing all night. I downsized waited another 4 months and the tapers slid in with no pain and when I pulled the plugs down I did have a gap so waiting is the key. you never wanna stretch fast and create scar tissue (cat butt wrinkles) whitch is unappealing with large naked lobes. I got cat butt beacuse of doing that and now if I wanna go naked lobe my right ear makes other people grossed out.
