Try doing sea salt soaks to get rid of the crusties. Mix no more than 1/4 teaspoon sea salt per one cup hot water and soak your piercing in it for 5-10 minutes each day or just whenever it gets crusty. Let it heal for a few months before you try going back to 8G, stretching should never be painful or cause any open wounds.
