I stretched my ears to a 6 gauge, my left ear has done perfect, my right, not so much. My right has hurt more, took longer to get to a 6, and now, my right earlobe is dry? I've washed with just warm water, warm water and antibacterial soap, tried Vitamin E lotion, Idk why it's getting dry? Any ideas?

Definitely don't use the antibacterial soap anymore, on that or any other piercing. It's incredible drying. Try massaging your ears with vitamin E oil, jojoba oil, or emu oil (only if they're healed; if they're sore or irritated just leave them alone for a while).

Lindsay's defiantly right the oils are much like lotion they'll make your ears not dryer anymore, but healthier also. If i were to recomend one it would be Vit. E or Jojoba, i havent used emu, but I hear it works fine too.
