I just stretched up from a 4g to a 2g a day or two ago. Pretty normal, a bit of soreness, whatever. It's also normal for me to itch like crazy whenever anything heals [cuts, scratches, bruises, you name it] and my ears are looking nice and healthy, with no weeping or swelling, so there's no ...

I have a little set of plastic drawers where I keep hair bows, headbands, makeup, bobby pins, small jewelry, etc. and I just stuck them in an old plastic container from a set of pinchers and throw them in one of the drawers.

Nice 'stache. ._. Just screams "ladylike."

Ahoy!

I had a really, really bad experience with a really bad tattooist. He really hammered the ink into my arm. That was about 18 months ago. That tattoo has been really itchy. I have a few other tatts which have been fine - no itchiness or anything.

Weird.

Don't think it's anything to worry ...

Oh, I forgot to include that bit of information. I got it a year ago, so it's all healed up nicely.
I also don't expose it to the sun frequently, if at all.

This probably happened last year, but I just assumed it was the healing process and that was it.

Alright, so I live in Florida and the weather is beginning to change- average 90 degree temperatures have dropped down to below 80. It's nice, but I've also noticed something really annoying.

It's not bad enough to really make me crazy, but it's definitely obnoxious. I ...

I've never had problems with it, but I didn't start really going up too many sizes until I was away at a university for a year. I came back with distinctly bigger earlobes and my mom cringed, lololol.
They don't really care, though, because I don't wear anything too dramatic/flamboyant. It isn't ...

You probably should NOT stretch again for a very long time. Your ears sound like a bit of a hot mess right now. I don't know a whole lot about keloids, but from what I do know, you may not be able to stretch to 1 in. again.

I suggest you copy/paste what you wrote and put it into a new post here ...

Ouch! :c Definitely see the doctor as Ollie suggested, and give your ears a bit more time to recover. An hour will let things settle down, but isn't enough time for tissue to really heal from any trauma.
Good luck!

My best friend and I started stretching just because we thought the jewelry at Hot Topic was really cool [we were in middle school and just as stupid as you'd expect]. Crappiest start to stretching ever; we both jammed in straight 18g barbells in the mall bathroom. Mine healed up within the next ...
