I might have a problem

I might be having a thinning problem. I'm suspecting it's due too that the hole was taken too close too the neck. I'm at 20mm, and my goal is 30mm. Is there anything I can do to make it better besides downsizing and using vitamin E oil?

Re: I might have a problem

You'll probably benefit from going naked for a while and doing oil massages. By going naked, you'll take the pressure off the skin and give it a chance to thicken. I have heard advice given of a good few months. You'll have to restretch from where you shrink down to, but by massaging your lobes while your ears are relaxing, you'll encourage blood flow and it will help thicken your lobes up.

It's good that you caught it before it became a really big problem. This looks reparable. : )

Best of luck!
