ripped my ear HELP

when i stretched to 0g in my left ear it was a bit of resistance to put in my tapers ( im going to tape up to my 0g in my right ear.) and today i took my taper out to clean it and it was bleeding like hell, i ripped the back side of it. Do i need to take my 0g out? or let it heal with it in? im really dumb and i ripped it before skipping from 10 to 6 ( i know stupid) i let them heal around the jewelry then should i do that here or no? :(
I'm 17 i live in maine, im engaged.

Re: ripped my ear HELP

Sounds like you just screwed your ear up pretty bad. Take it out, downsize, SSS, jojoba/vit e massages after a few days, wait a few months, and STOP WEARING TAPERS AS JEWELRY!

Leave it out then. Continuing to leave the 0g jewerly in will only screw your ears up more.

Re: ripped my ear HELP

You can get a pair of plugs that are safe to wear in unhealed lobes and downsize. Or you can just go naked for a while, most people don't like the latter. Keeping your 0g jewelry in nonetheless a taper would do more harm then good at this point.
Baby the hell out of your lobes and do SSS for a while. You shouldn't be doing any types of massages anytime soon until the lobe isn't irritated.

Re: ripped my ear HELP

i did this exact thing about two months ago. leave it out! LEAVE IT OUT LEAVE IT OUT!

i asked a friend what to do, she has bigger gauges than mine, she said to put something way smaller coated in neosporin, and do that every day, i had a 6g so i used that and it healed up really well. be careful, GO SLOW, dont wear tapers as jewelry. after that i left that ear to six then took the other down to two so they look a little even . then went back up to 0g slower, way slower.

be very careful!

Re: ripped my ear HELP

^^ everything Ferret said. Going naked is the BEST way to heal your lobes after a rip, despite the fact that you may not want to.
And I'll repeat what's been said already.
STOP WEARING TAPERS AS JEWELLERY. WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF YOU DON'T HAVE JEWELLERY IN THAT SIZE, GO OUT AND FUCKING BUY SOME OR BE PATIENT AND DON'T STRETCH UNTIL YOU DO!!!!

Sorry for the caps lock, but I swear some people do not listen. Then when they ask for help and you try to help them, they come up with all these stupid excuses for why they did what they did and try to pretend like they did nothing wrong.

Just take the advice above and leave your ear alone for several months until it's healed.
