Earstretching.net

Okay so I've had my ears stretched for two years. Recently, I was at 2g (organic wood pinchers) and I wanted to go to 0g.
The thing is, before I got the chance to stretch my perfectly fine ear lobes became irritated. I presume
because I accidentally washed them with fragrant body wash. Probably like 3 times. They have been dry and flaky for
a good month already.But not puss or anything of the sort.Therefore, I stretched back down to a 4g to help them heal. I love my ears and I would hate to ruin them and stop stretching. HELP please

Use a moisturizing oil or cream to clear that up.

The harsh soap is likely what causes it. I use Dr Bronner's peppermint, and it can cause a bit of the same for me. But I solve it with either a little bit of coconut oil, or a natural moisturizer cream I get from my shave shop.
