I've never heard of anyone using olive oil... not saying it's bad but I've just never heard of it. Do you have any stores near you that sell vitamins? If so, you might want to consider getting some vitamin E. I just use the pills; I break them open and massage the inside onto my lobes.
And yeah, until you get rid of the scarring stretching really isn't a good idea. Stretching scar tissue is VERY difficult.
Is this normal? :D

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!

I'll try to look up for some vitamin E oils. If im not wrong, olive oil too contains Vit E? 
Hopefully it will go away, im so paranoid by it!

I had a hard bump next to one of my stretches for a while. It wasn't just on the skin next to it but inside my lobe under the flesh, if you get what I mean.
I still don't really know what it was, maybe some scar tissue, but after a while it just disappeared

Dude... weren't you at 2G like a few weeks ago? And didn't you say you stretched to that really super fast and were planning on slowing down? Your ears are going to be repulsive.

Re: Is this normal? :D
Yeah they were >.< my ears are fine tho. Theres like a few wrinkles i suppose, but theve been there sence i was at 4g &im done so it doesnt really matter. I stretched with silicone to 00 then a day later to 7/16 then a day later to 1/2(actualy it was just a tiny bit smaller) it was painless &easy. I realy did stretch too fast, but i had no problems, so its fine with me xD I made it to my goal size:D
