Okay, took a shower and managed to get them out. The right hole seems to be healing beautifully, and the left (problem) one was completely blocked by pus. I cleaned out what I could and put the plugs in, and wiped a little more pus and blood off the back. They're now both in, and I plan to do a salt ...

My worry is since they arent able to move they could become fused and thats a big problem that you dont wanna deal with - plus you really need to get them out from time to time to clean all the old skin cells out of the fistula ( to prevent the old ear cheese )

They will move, which is good, it's ...

Does it seem like a "lip" coming from the hole or is it a round bump?

Basically just a round bump, inside my earlobe, located directly underneath the pincher. (I know, I'm trying to get it in a better state before fooling with the jewelry.) Other than the bump which makes my earlobe larger than ...

It's located underneath the actual hole in location on my earlobe. It's approximately 1.5 times the size of the thickest part of my pincher, and doesn't hurt to poke it. The only thing that hurts is my actual hole, such as if my pincher turned upward and I had to turn it back down it's painful.

Okay, I'll definitely get some sort of oil and use it once they're healed. I wish I woulda counted the weeks between my stretches before, like I said even sometimes 2-3 months would pass before I could get new jewelry and it would still sting, oh well. What's done is done, I'm just trying to help it ...

Hrmms. I really think I should invest in some sort of oil for massaging, which would you predominantly recommend? And I sincerely hope so, I always hate the pain. After these heal for a minimum of eight weeks I do plan on continuing until a 00, as that's my goal. Is this to say the 2mm jumps won't ...

It's always been a slight feeling of the tear, but I don't see how you can't experience pain...you're forcing something through a space that's smaller than the object...regardless, I haven't experienced more intense pain until these full mm jumps. I did a salt soak a few hours ago and the swelling ...

Definitely not arguing with either of you, I'm just honestly totally confused by what's happening. I've always used pinchers, and I never changed them out for plugs. (Recently I've learned this is frowned upon, I didn't research as much as I should have but that's moot at the point.) They've always ...

So, I stretched to a 4g two nights ago, using acrylic pinchers. Pinchers are all I have used since a 12 or 14, and I've never had any problems with them. 2 weeks prior was when I made my 6g stretch. It hurt like hell but I had no issues with the healing process. I understand 2 weeks is not a great ...
