Okay, what happened was that i got my ears stretched to a size 6. i had hoops in that i really didnt like to much so i took them out and i tried putting plugs in but the plugs i have are thinner in the center and thicker on the outsides (if that makes any sense?). so they didnt seem to fit in my ears but instead of me getting it checked out or something first i forced them in my ears. i started to bleed but very little so i didnt think to much about it. but then after they were in for a little while i started to notice that they werent completely fitting through my ear. like one edge of the plug was in the hole still but that was as far as it could go. i think i have a blowout. im not 100 percent sure though. so i took those out for about two hours, not even, and i tried putting my hoops back in because i didnt feel right with the plugs and they dont fit in my ears anymore. my holes closed up a little bit. if i have a blowout is there any way to fix it now that my holes are closed again?
can someone please give me some ideas or anything at all please! i really dont wanna mess my ears up. thanks a lot. oh and if you need pictures ill upload them tomorrow its like 4 a.m. and my camera is sucking right now. thanks a lot
Please help me!

6G rings are waaaay too heavy to be worn in a fresh stretch so you did the right thing by trying to put in plugs. BUT it sounds like the sizing was off or they cut your lobes on the way in or something and the swelled up, if I understand what you're saying correctly.
Anyway, sounds like you need to downsize as much as possible. Surely you don't mean you stretched your ears from a standard piercing all the way to 6G? If so, go all the way back to where you started. Did you have your ears stretched by a piercer? If so, start doing it yourself from now on; you'll be wy better off.

I'm Lindsay.
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!
