My right ear is doing great. It's on a 12g already...I put in the 12 because the 14 fell out on its own a few times so I knew it was ready.
But my left ear has been awful through the process. The first time, I came here for advice and downsized the ear to a regular earring, despite the fact that I look stupid with one regular earring and one plug on the other ear. After maybe three weeks the left ear felt fine so I put back the 14g though I realize now I should have waited longer.
It started hurting a week ago, I did a salt soak and the pain went away. But the pain has come back and my ear is bleeding again so I have now stuck the regular earring back in.
My ear looks weird, here I have two pictures I took.


It looks awful to me. Do you guys think that will heal up if I give it like three months time or so? Is there any hope for that ear yet?
