tiny little blowout?

Last night, I added another layer of tape to my plugs. The left one went in fine, but when I put in the right plug, it seems like I got a veeeery tiny ring of skin pushed out on the front of my lobe. It's not very noticeable at all. I tried shifting/readjusting the skin around the plug, but nothing changed. But really, it's so tiny. I tried taking a picture of it to send to my friend who also has stretched ears, but the little ring of skin didn't even show up in the picture.

I'm wondering, is it a tiny little blowout? Nothing else is wrong with my lobe- it's not at all swollen, red, sore, or anything like that. Should I worry about it if its so small? :(

Re: tiny little blowout?

Can you see it if you take out the plug?
It sounds like it could be a small blowout. How fast have you been taping? If I were you I'd remove a few layers and do lots of oil massages.
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!

No, I can't see it if I take out my plug. I've been adding one wrap every 2-3 days.
I'll try the downsizing a little bit, and the oil massages. Thanks!
