my ears are having fits.. they were fine at 12mm but as soon as my 14mm plugs popped in yes popped in. no resistance, i have always pulled on my ears a bit and they were getting loose after months at 12mm anyways snd they just slid in with no resistance or anythign. but i never had a blow out before and i never have had issues with accrylic before i clean my plugs daily no matter what they are. but i put vitmin e oil on my ears after i streched up with no flared acryllic plugs two days ago and they have bee swollen red and running with lymph and other ear junk since :( they went down after my sss and leaving them out for an hour helped a bit.
but they look like this still

and the other is like this Image

both are like dented in the hole and have what looks like blow outs on them :( im still thinking the swelling and leaking is from being allergic to e oil which i think i am :( any ideas ? i downsized and did a sss, washed my ears and plugs, even wore the plugs with out o rings on them

Image

thats how it looks with the plugs in :(

they were fine until i put on the e oil. which is why i think im allergic to it.

im worried for them, my ears are my joy. any help ?? ideas? anythign??

i'd say go to the doctors and have an allergey test to see if it is DEFINATLEY the e-oil. also go naked lobe for a few days see if they calm down. Also oil on a fresh stretch is a bit of a no no since it can harbour bacteria ect and also just irritate the ears hope it all clears up :)

Ouch! :c Definitely see the doctor as Ollie suggested, and give your ears a bit more time to recover. An hour will let things settle down, but isn't enough time for tissue to really heal from any trauma.
Good luck!

i cant leave my lobes naked, i have to wear jewelry during school hours and at work, its required. Im going to get some steel tubing at the hard ware store today, to put in as opposed to acrylic plugs. The o rings are off, and i did a sss this morning, and one when i go home will be done.

Ok then id downsize and also go to see a doctor just for an allergy check just so you can be 100% sure its the e oil causing the problemo :)

Every once in a while i have a weird reaction, from either sleeping on my ears wrong or getting them snagged, I just downsize 1 size to steel tunnels till swelling is gone then i put my plugs back in.
