hi,
i just stretched from 8g to a 6g, maybe a week now? and my left ear looks like it has a cat butt, and maybe my right ear, as well, but not as much as the left one.
when i stretched the right, it stung a bit (but not even enough to say ouch. haha.), and when i tried to stretch my left one, it hurt a bit, but i managed to put it in and i didn't really force it in.
so, do i have a cat butt? and what should i do if i do have one?
thanks!

Re: fresh 6g stretch (cat butt?)
Your lobes do look a tiny bit wrinkly. If your lobes aren't sore or irritated, you can start doing oil massages. For scar tissue I'd recommend vitamin E oil; you can get the pills and squeeze the oil out or you can buy the oil itself in a bottle. Massage it into your lobes (without jewelry) for a few minutes after you get out of the shower every day.

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!

hmm.. well, they're not sore, but there is a bit of discomfort if i tug the plug on my left ear. do i have to downsize or anything? or just the vit E oil will do?
thanks!

Downsizing would definitely help if you weren't too bothered to do so. But if you start doing oil massages regularly you should be alright.

hmm.. if you say they'll be alright with the 6g, i'll just do the oil massaging. hehe. it's kind of a downer to downsize. hhaha!
thanks again!
(yeah, i know, i say thanks a lot. hahaa! but still..)
