Try doing sea salt soaks to get rid of the crusties. Mix no more than 1/4 teaspoon sea salt per one cup hot water and soak your piercing in it for 5-10 minutes each day or just whenever it gets crusty. Let it heal for a few months before you try going back to 8G, stretching should never be painful or cause any open wounds.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
