So this monday, I stretched my right earlobe to 6mm (2g) the stretch itself wasn't different from what I've experienced before and I'd waited several months (Close to 6 months actually) so I thought everything was good and all. Then today when I got home, I wanted to do an SSS because it had been a little itchy and like 5-10 seconds after I removed my plug, it started bleeding. I have no idea what happened, maybe I've been sleeping on it in a wrong way or something... I didn't have time to do much about it since I was heading out, so I just cleaned it up and put my plug back in. It was a bit sore, but that's gone away now.. I don't know if it's still bleeding, I'm going to wait a bit longer before taking my plug out again and check on it, because I don't want to mess too much with it... I know that the ideal thing to do would be downsizing, and I'd be happy to do that, but the problem is that I don't have any proper 4g jewellery.. The only things I have other than spirals (Which would just be a plain stupid choice, especially since they're made of horn) are an acrylic taper and a very small acrylic plug. Which I suppose I could put in, but it's very short and therefore isn't very comfortable. I guess my poor choice in jewellery might be a part of the reason why this went wrong.. I have some good 2g jewellery, a titanium tunnel, and I think that would be the best to wear right now.. I know that I might get scar tissue and stuff like that, but it really isn't much of an issue for me since I've definitely reached the limit of how far I can go with this one because of it's placement and I was going to stop here anyway.. So I'm thinking, that since I don't want to stretch any further and don't mind living with some wrinkles or something similar, it might just be better to let it heal at this size, rather than changing to unhealthy jewellery that might just make it worse? And no, I can't just buy new 4g jewellery, I can't afford anything right now...
And you don't have to tell me that I fucked up, I know I did..
