I've been stretching for a few months now, I've been waiting at least a month in between stretches and am currently at 4g. But it's been over a month since I last stretched and my ears still aren't very stretchy, and my left lobe looks a little funny. I'm a little scared that I might have caused a blowout....

Tell me what you think please:

(The look a little shiny because it was after a shower and I put vitamin e oil on my piercings)

it seems a bit irritated. try leaving the jewelry out for a little while and be careful with what kind of jewelry you leave in because your body may react badly to it.
Best of luck!

Thanks! I've been keeping my steel plugs in lately just in case. And I usually leave them in and don't touch them for a few days if it's irritated. I'll try leaving it out next.

Looks like there's some scar tissue there to me.

Yeah, do sss and leave it alone.

If it's scar tissue what should I do....soaks and downsize....? :/

Do vit-e oil massages when it is completely healed and no longer tender in any way.

What do you think the scar tissue is from....did I accidentally stretch too fast? :/

It's hard to say without being you. Everybody's ears/skin/bodies are different.

Well, at the size you're at now, it is recommended to wait at least 3-4 months, preferably more, between stretches, so yeah, you might very well be going too fast.
