Re: Worried about my lobe....

First off 2 weeks is not taking it slow you should be waiting like at the very least 4 - 6 months after initial piercing or if you tear a lobe which is basically a new piercing. Then wait between 1 - 2 months between each subsequent stretch then like 2 - 4 when you get to 0g and up. Whatever size ...

Re: Oil

I would recommend Holey Butt'r if you can get your hands in it. A lot of piercing shops sell it and it comes in a small tin but last for a while. It also has karanja oil as well as jojoba the first being an antiseptic so it keeps your ears clean of germs as well as healthy and soft. I still wouldnt ...

Re: One Ear infected

The earring still bleeds some whenever its barely even touched like when I am dabbing it with toilet paper to dry it off if it moves a tiny bit then it'll bleed. On the plus side there is absolutely no puss and the swelling is down so any advice or just keep on doing what I'm doing?

Re: One Ear infected

It looked like elmer's glue with the same consistency just not bright white. It literally looked like I popped a huge pimple from my ear. I didn't notice any odor really but I didn't take the time to smell my plug either.

Re: One Ear infected

Sorry I was on a cellphone and kinda freaking out from the pus thats never happened to me before. But I downsized to a 10G and I'm wearing single flare gorilla glass plugs with one o-ring on the back. I feel like the pus is trapped in my ear. It definitely soaks out after a nice 10 or 15 minutes SSS ...

Re: One Ear infected

I think I may have "popped" something because when I pressed on my ear that white milky stuff oozed out with a tiny bit of blood. I have been taking them out frequently since like 5 days after the initial stretch which was 2 months after my last stretch. My left ear is perfectly fine and now my ...

One Ear infected

So I stretched my ears maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago and a day ago my ear started to hurt today I noticed it was a little swollen so I took out the glass plug and it was oozing and bleeding a little. I just started doing SSS and rubbing holey butt'r and vitamin E oil on it about a week or so ago. Before ...

Re: Acrylic questions?

You really shouldn't be wearing it so if you can afford to go get titanium, 316LVM SS or glass go get it. But if you can't then make sure you clean them frequently to prevent infection and as soon as you can afford new ones I'd get some non-acrylic ones. Besides the acrylic in fresh stretch and ...
