As Morgan discovered, you can’t force your ears to stretch! That said, figuring out where your body’s limits are is part of the learning process if DIY is your thing. Still, there’s something to be said for taking it really slow — either way, her ear is just fine now, although she lost about a 1/16″ in size from this.

that does seem like it could happen overnight, i mean, if you get cut, you get a scab overnight.

person is stupid to have let them get like that in the first place. as soon as you noticed something wasnt right you should have done sumthing about it. b4 letting it get to the point it has. your lucky you still have a fuckin earlobe.

U pick it then take sea salt or soft care contact solution and clean it because that shit fuckin hurts hard core then u just repeat. pick clean give it a day pick clean. then you just clean then wait.

Improper cleaning leads to this.. I am at 9/16 right now and I haven’t gauged my ears in sometime now, but I still clean my ears at least 2 times a day to prevent this.. It all starts with an “itch of uncleanliness” If it starts itching CLEAN IT!! or it will itch worse, begin to swell, start stinking, and end up a jewelry-less crusty-puss scab-plug filled hole that all these other freaks want to pick for you!! (pick you own damn scabs) I have seen far worse than this though..

Its them damn silicone gauges, that happened to my ear but not to that point. The piercer said i was close to getting fucking gangreen. i got antibiotics and took them out and now they are ok. my ear was almost to an inch and it completly closed, that sucked. but that person it stupid as hell, if they saw their ear getting like that they should have helped it alot sooner lol
