Lobe stretching

judgefudge

Hi guys,

So I had my lobes stretched up a few years ago (just to about 8mm or so, can't exactly remember) anyway I took them out and then last year decided I wanted to stretch up again. Only this time I had a lot of difficulty. Basically once I started stretching, even at about 3mm, I was getting a lot of clear liquid oozing out of the piercing. This would dry and kind of crack the skin around the piercing. I really want to stretch back up now but I'm scared of this happening again and I don't really understand why it happened the last time. I was using mainly stainless steel stretching tapers.

Any advice?

How far did they close and did you stretch to 3mm straight away?

what are you using to stretch and what if any lube are you using?

That sounds a bit severe. I'm stretching my ears up again for the third time in five years and it's going swimmingly.

Make sure you're using good jewellery and a sound method of stretching. I use a combination of PTFE tape and dead stretching. Slow and steady wins the race etc.
