Red ring....of death?

So I just FINALLY got my left ear, aka my bitch ear, to fit the silicone tunnel (note to self; these suck.) I did it from the back of my ear to the front, now i have a raised ring of...flesh? It almost looks like i brought some of the inner flesh to the surface.

Anyone know how to get rid of it, treat it, or will it get rid of itself? D;

Looks like a blowout, in other words yes it looks like you pushed some of the inside of the fistula out. Take the silicone eyelet out now. From the look of it you havn't been at your current size yet long enough. That jsut speculation though, its still pretty red is why i say that.

I just read up on some of this and it looks like you may have torn/bruised your fistula.
Easy treatment/fix (apparently); downsize, baby it for a while, then continue.

Remember, I just read this from a previous post so I may be wrong

Downsize 1-2 sizes and do daily sss, rub gently with e-vit oil and let your ears rest for at least 2-3 months, preferably more.
