blowout? or?
so, i stretched my ears a few days ago, and my right ear has always kind of bothered me whenever i size up (i kind of blame my old stepdad, he forced a taper through and it really hurt, he started me out at either 8g or 6g when i started gauging), even when ive taken out the gauges and let them heal and try again, but i just sized up to 7mm and my ear has been bothering me more than normally. yesterday, i accidentally twisted it, and it started bleeding, but stopped hurting as much, so i didnt think anything of it until i went to clean it and there was pus. so, i took the gauge out and investigated, and it does not look good, what do i even do from here? do i size down one and let it heal? my struggle every time i size up is making me want to give up where i was (6mm)
