So, a week ago I attempted to stretch up to 10G. Unfortunately, the plugs were a bit bigger than a standard 10G and my ears got super irritated. I took out the 10Gs and put my 12Gs back in. My concern lies with my left ear; I am concerned that I may have a blowout. It looks fine, but when I press on the back the fistula sorta pops out. I was hoping someone could let me know if it is actually a blowout, or if I am just being paranoid.
Ear without plug (I'm aware it is angry -- I have been doing SSS every day):

Possible blowout?

Re: Possible blowout?
I think you'll be just fine. I used to worry the same thing. You'll be able to push more of your fistula out as you stretch. Just take it slow and do some sea salt soaks to help with the irritation, and jojoba oil massages when healed). Best of luck!
Re: Possible blowout?
Ahh, okay. I think I was mainly worried because my other ear isn't mimicking that behaviour. I'll just continue babying my ears and hope for the best. :0)
