just keep stretching as slow as possible, and do oliveoil massages, over time the tissue should be reabsorbed, if not, qualified mod artist/piercer could cut it off if it doesnt interfere with the structural integrity of your lobe
but first, what size are you at?how long are you waiting to stretch, what size are you stretching too (how many gauge,mm, or inch incraments)? and are you taping or tapering?

the problem with electrical tape is that the adhesive has TCP in it, which is a neurotoxin and isnt meant to be in contact with skin either, try bondage tape, i prefer that over any for stretching if you dont like ptfe

i dont really like ptfe, its too fiddley and i get frustrated when it folds when your wrapping it. It would be a bit awkqard to buy bondage tape though... im only 15 xD

Bondage tape is the best truthfully he is right. You can order it via the internet. Bondage tape sticks to its self without any neuro toxin posessing agents. If you get it online it isn't going to come un-packaged to where everyone is going to see what it is. It is the safest option.
You could also get some Tea Tree oil it will help the skin to correct the blow out and the skin should re-absorb itself. You should massage it in with your finger tips directly on the blown-out tissue 4-5 times daily. Once the skin shrinks some then use a Vitamin-E Ointment, massaged in 4-5 times a day. This will help minimize the formation of scar tissue. If you live in a hot humid climate make sure you clean off the extra and don't let it sit in between the plug and your skin.

Did you wait between sizes or did you just tape every few days without stopping? If you didn't wait, or if you didn't wait long enough, it's not surprising you got a blowout. And I remember you telling people to wait 2-3 weeks between sizes so I'm assuming you still stretched pretty quickly.

lol i waited till my ear was back to normal color which was every 3 or 4 days depending on my ear. The blowout was from when i went sky diving, the cold air or sumthing made my ear constrict and when i put my tunnel back in once i was on the ground it took alot of force to get it back in. I fell asleep on car ride home and once i was home i went to massage my ears and BAM their was a blowout.
