Pierced at 14g, 6 months over but....

I know my six months is done with for sure. I left my barbells out for a while and I couldn't get them back in, I would say they were left out for a month ish. Anyway I recently received a stretching kit from my girlfriend as a present and put my 14g barbells back in. Would it be okay if I waited a week and then sized up to 12g? Should I do oil massages daily till then? (I have Jojoba oil and a balm that is a combo of sweet almond, jojoba, wheat germ, tea tree, and myrrh oils) THANK YOU EVERYONE, I haven't been on here since I got my ear pierced :D

if you can get it in with no pain or resistance it should be ok. if it hurts or has to much resistance you need to wait longer. jojoba oil is great but im not sure about the balm you mentioned. i stick to emu,jojoba or vitamin e oil. good luck and be patient :twisted:

Resistance: OK
Pain: NOT OK

If you can meet that criteria, you *should* be alright. I presume this is for your lobe and not your cartilage... if it's cartilage, then I have nothing to say about that.
