Stretched 3 days ago - I went from a 7/16 to a half inch, only on my left ear. I had a silicone stretcher (the one where you bend it to get it in your ear and then it goes to the size) and it was really sore and eventually it swelled and got rock hard around my plug. I really couldn't stand it any longer so painfully took it out - blood everywhere, the whole deal.
I looked at the back of my ear in the mirror and realized it's a blowout due to the keloid in the back.

So wondering what I do after this? Obviously clean it, but should I go back to my 7/16 gauge? Wait for the swelling to go down and then put it in?
