Recently stretched to a 6g, now my earlobe is dry?
I stretched my ears to a 6 gauge, my left ear has done perfect, my right, not so much. My right has hurt more, took longer to get to a 6, and now, my right earlobe is dry? I've washed with just warm water, warm water and antibacterial soap, tried Vitamin E lotion, Idk why it's getting dry? Any ideas?

Definitely don't use the antibacterial soap anymore, on that or any other piercing. It's incredible drying. Try massaging your ears with vitamin E oil, jojoba oil, or emu oil (only if they're healed; if they're sore or irritated just leave them alone for a while).
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!

Lindsay's defiantly right the oils are much like lotion they'll make your ears not dryer anymore, but healthier also. If i were to recomend one it would be Vit. E or Jojoba, i havent used emu, but I hear it works fine too.corazon_de_oro wrote:Definitely don't use the antibacterial soap anymore, on that or any other piercing. It's incredible drying.
