healing to plug?

[ggallenfan]

My new plug seems to be healing to my ear. A little more sore than other stretches and plug will not turn. I stretched Monday. When I forced it to turn I got a little blood. Any advice?

What type of material? This can happen with acrylic, and silicone I know.

[ggallenfan]

some type plastic but unsure

Yeah that is your problem, Never put plastic, acrylic, wood, etc into a fresh stretch. Always use glass or steel. I'm not sure what to do in this situation except get some either glass or steel plugs, SSS, and maybe downsize.

You shouldn't be trying to turn your fresh stretch regardless of the jewellery you have in.
Acrylic does not have the smooth slippery surface that metal and glass have, so in a fresh stretch it won't turn, not until the ear is healed and is starting to loosen up.
Just wash your ear in the shower with antibacterial soap, do sea salt soaks, and if you're really paranoid that it's healing to the jewellery, just slowly push your lobe along the wearable length of the plug/tunnel when you wash it. But for the love of god don't turn it, you're probably pinching the inside of your lobe skin which is why it's bleeding.

IF you're stretching correctly then it is fine to use acrylic jewellery, and yes it will feel a bit tighter to begin with compared to metal/glass, but just don't play with it and let it heal. It will be fine.

I have nothing to compare it to. I have only used plastic. It just felt like grown to ear so tried to turn it. It feels better do not know what happend maybe because i stretched too soon. read accidental 2G

Sounds like your ear wasn't quite ready to stretch, even if you didn't have any pain. It's probably just really really tight so it feels like it's "healed to your ear," but really it's just under a lot of pressure. Trying to turn it pissed it off more, hence the blood. If I were you I'd downsize, but if you decide to keep the 2G in just don't mess with it and do some sea salt soaks.

been doing sss and leaving it alone. It does feel a lot better I'm giving it a week then I'll decide if I must down size. I hate to it looks good no blow out or tear
