So yeah as it says in the title, my left ear has a blow out. I got my ear pierced 3 months and a half ago. 2 months later I put in 14 gauge tapers, and then a month later I put in 12 gauge tapers. I got a kit that went from 14g to 8 g, and 14-12g didn't come with plugs, which is why I just have the tapers in my ears. I also know Acrylic isn't the best, but I don't have money for steel tapers or plugs. But yeah, 4 days ago I tried putting in 10 gauges and I notice my left ear had a bump on it when I took the taper out. When I turned the lobe, I could tell it was a blow out, so I downsized back to 14 gauge. The thing is I didn't ever feel pain or anything to lead me to think I had a blow out, so I'm not sure when it happened. So yeah I was just wondering to see what you guys think, how bad it is, etc etc. Since I found out I've been soaking it in sea salt twice a day, and cleaning it. Now another guy from a website that has music I listened to said I should take the tapers out completely, and have no jewelry in them. What should I do?

sounds like you started stretching to soon .. you should really wait about 6 months from a fresh piercing to stretch . I would remove the taper and downsize to a regular 20 ga stud earring ( of good quality ) continue to do the soaks and after a few weeks start oil massages . I would stay downsized to the 20 ga for at least 4-6 months or until you see improvement .

it might also be more hypertrophic scarring than blow out really and thats why you didnt feel much pain ... but Id treat it the same way

That's not hypertrophic scarring--that's infected.
