I feel like I'm fucked.

so i recently decided that i wanted to get to a 00g. two days ago i went from a 4g to a 2g. when i first put them in it wasnt that painful. last night i took them out cause i wanted to clean them (they started to hurt) and literally right when i took one out it started to bleed.... not a lot.. but enough to be like wooah.. both my ears did that. i called my friend and asked him what i should do.. he said take dial soap and warm water and then clean them.. which i did. and then he said to put them back in. i kinda wish i didnt listen cause one of them is really swollen and they arent thaat painful... but its uncomfurtable. i need to know what to do... i reaaally dont want to fuck up my ears. Any suggestions???

Okay, first of all you didn't wait nearly long enough before stretching, and secondly you skipped like 3 or 4mm (depending on whether your 00G was 9mm or 10) by going from 2G-00G. What you need to do is downsize... I'd at LEAST go back to 2G but probably 4G. Let them heal; sea salt soaks will help you quite a bit and I can fill you in on how to do them properly if you'd like. I'd wait at least a couple of months before you try stretching again, and next time wait 6-8 weeks between each size and don't skip any. There are also in-between sizes like 1G, and make sure the 00G plugs you have for that stretch are 9mm and not 10. Those will make things a lot easier.
