Dry skin or crusties??

[Alyxxx]

Hey all

I currently am at 4g, been there for about 3 weeks now. I am wearing plain metal tunnels (I think they're stainless steel, which I know isn't the best but I'm one of those lucky people with no metal sensitivities). Anyway, I've got some recurring dryness on the back of one ear. I can't tell if it's dry skin or just lymph, but it feels like it goes away after I shower and clean my ears. I've been taking them out and cleaning them and my ears with warm water twice daily, and massaging them with Vitamin E oil each time. I don't have any pain, and both tunnels just slide right in an out. Is there anything else I can do or should I just wait it out?
