Earstretching.net

Okay, so I am a follower of the slow, healthy stretching process.. But the other day I made my stretch up to 5/8.. My right ear (problem ear) was fine, and it's perfect.. I can tug, twist, and play with it in genral with no pain.. But my left ear was very sore, and as I was attempting to sleep in class today (lol), my ear was throbbing with pain.. A few minutes ago I went to go to a inspection of the ear, and as I took out the plug, it had what I had assumed to be puss all over it.... The pussing has come to hault as of now, and I cleaned out most of the blood.. Right now I am going to take a hot shower then down sizing immediately to 1/2 or 7/16. I am looking for some good advice, aside from the sea salt soaks and gentle massages. Please&Thankyou:)

It sounds like lymph that comes out of all piercings, not pus. You seem to be doing everything right except don't massage it until it's no longer sore. You definitely are doing the right thing by downsizing.

Downsize to half inch for a couple days and give it another go.

hahaha nooo way. I can't, it is healing now, slowly, but the hole is about a 2-4g now... Hahaha, its fine though, i'm not putting anything in it untill the skin is back to normal state... It was a bad infection.. Cat butt, yay.

Oooo yea I know how that is. When I tried going to 5/8 I used tapers, but tried it a few days too soon. My right ear got so swollen I couldn't pull the taper out for a few hours, and even then the hole shrunk up to a 0g
