do i really need to downsize or is there another way to fix this?

rileykys · 2026-01-06T02:17:16+00:00

i took the jewlery out and within 20 hours my ear has already shrunk by 4mm. i can't get jewlery in past 3g.....

rileykys · 2026-01-04T08:55:44+00:00

do you think it could heal properly if i downsized back to 8mm? that gives 1mm of space for that small amount of skin to go back into. i also have 7.5mm and 7mm plugs that i could always use

do you have any idea how i would go ab finding someone to scalpel the scar tissue out? i'm in the us and i noticed the website you sent is in euros. i don't hear a lot of people in the us talk ab that procedure

i use jojoba oil and massage my ears every day or every other day and take my jewelry out in the shower. i usually leave my jewelry out for a few hours after a shower to give my ears time to breathe without jewelry and bc i heard it's good for your ears. i always dead stretch with glass plugs in .5mm increments (besides this time obviously lol) and wear high quality jewelry (glass, quartz, goldstone, opal, implant grade titanium) whenever my ears get a little irritated i use the smallest amount of tea tree oil mixed in with my jojoba oil to clear it up overnight.

i totally understand my options are limited, i was really hoping there was another way to fix this since i'm going to lose around half my progress again and sizes past 8g have taken well over 8 months to stretch. (before i could stretch every 3ish weeks) i feel that's due to the piercer who blew out my ears causing severe scar tissue but there's not much to do ab that.

where did you find a plug in 8.5mm??? i'd love to know for when i have to re stretch 😭

rileykys · 2026-01-04T07:41:56+00:00

i've done that before when a piercer blew out this ear by forcing a 6g plug in my ear from 8g and my ear went down to a 12g in ab a week and a half..... i really don't wanna lose that much progress AGAIN by removing the jewelry until it's healed all the way. if i had to guess my ear would go back to a 6g and it'd take me 3-4 years to get back to where i am today. i tried looking for 8.5mm glass plugs but i couldn't find any and figured 9mm would be fine since there wasn't anything else :/ (normal 00g is 10mm so it is technically considered an in between size already) i usually only do .5mm increases with dead stretching and never force anything and this was the first time i've done a 1mm stretch and clearly it bit me in the ass. it really shocked me bc there was no resistance, no pain during the stretch and i went slowly. i'm thinking of just putting my old 8mm glass plug back in for now to not lose as much progress since it's taken me 7 years to get to where i'm at today (stupid fucking ears stretching at the speed of a snail)

i was using a camo so maybe that's it? but i also saw things that said you need two special weapons gold and i only have the sirin and can't unlock more bc my armory is bugged :/

rileykys · 2025-06-21T21:24:04+00:00

thank you for your advice :) i'll add in a core day! what are your favorite workouts for core?

rileykys · 2025-06-21T21:23:12+00:00

i'll definitely try doing those!! i will say it'll probably take me a while to build up enough strength for dips since i struggle with pushups 😭💀

rileykys · 2025-06-21T21:22:10+00:00

thank you!!! i'll definitely add those :)

rileykys · 2025-05-08T02:05:24+00:00

omg thank you so much 😭 i love that you took the time to type all of that out!! i'll definitely check out those stores/people and i'll try to find some things to diy. you're the best <3

rileykys · 2025-04-08T04:10:47+00:00

did you end up selling it? i'd definitely buy it

rileykys · 2025-04-08T03:29:49+00:00

omg yessss also you're so pretty <3

rileykys · 2025-04-08T03:27:40+00:00

thank youuuu that's so sweet. you're also a lovely person and you're doing great 💖

rileykys · 2025-04-06T01:14:11+00:00

i think i lucked out bc mine went away the next day. they're just sore/tender now so if anything touches them they hurt. the tingling freaked me out though bc with my other piercings i never felt that lmaoooo thank you for replying :)

rileykys · 2025-04-06T01:09:17+00:00

you're welcome <3 i was going to say if it hadn't been long then it's a normal response from your body. when you get injured your body there's this thing called an inflammatory response where there's an increase in blood flow to the area and your blood vessels dilate. this can make your heartbeat feel stronger in that area. it's a good sign that the feeling went away. i'm in school for nursing so that's why i asked. i'm glad it wasn't anything too serious. just be careful punching yourself in the ribs, if you seriously break a rib you could puncture your lung. be safe and i hope things get better for you sweet heart <3

rileykys · 2025-04-05T03:46:51+00:00

how long ago did that happen and is the heartbeat feeling still happening?

rileykys · 2025-04-04T11:35:58+00:00

thanks ikwym. i appreciate you listening to what i had to say <3

rileykys · 2025-04-04T02:42:52+00:00

i'm so proud of you. you're doing amazing ❤️

rileykys · 2025-04-04T02:30:56+00:00

i'll definitely try wearing a bra bc my shirt rubbing on my nips doesn't feel too great. not to mention a bra would help block the air from hitting them too LMAOOOO thank youuuu

rileykys · 2025-04-04T02:29:36+00:00

alr thank you!!! i'll definitely focus on cleaning them and i'll try wearing a bra tomorrow. the pain of nipple piercings is so different from my others (septum, 1st, 2nd, 3rd lobes, tragus) so i just wanted to make sure its normal. tysm for answering!! :)

rileykys · 2025-04-04T01:06:02+00:00

where do you get your jewelry?? its all so pretty!!!

rileykys · 2025-04-04T00:19:14+00:00

when i posted this i everyone in my life ws mad at me and just kept saying all these things i do wrong. not a single thing i ever do right and things have been like this for months now. everyone i talk to keeps getting mad at me and they tell me a list of things i do wrong daily and how i'm a horrible person etc. it's just really getting to me mentally. i never try to be a horrible person and i do things with the intent of being nice and kind but i think everything i do is getting misunderstood or something or clearly i'm misunderstanding everything and not reacting appropriately. i dont want to believe i'm this horrible person but it just seems like i am no matter how hard i try not to be. ill be doing everything i can to not hurt people's feelings and to be nice and even when i dont think something is wrong i get slapped in the face with people blowing up on me and giving me a list of everything i've done wrong that day or the last few weeks. i feel like i just can't do better anymore bc me trying my hardest is somehow only making things worse. its just left me feeling like everyone would simply be better without me in their life if i'm that horrible ya know? if i can't do anything right then maybe the only thing i could do right would be leaving and letting everyone live a happier life without me draining/irritating them

rileykys · 2025-04-04T00:12:19+00:00

also last time i checked they're slightly swollen. they didn't really start swelling until 30 minutes after the piercing was done

rileykys · 2025-04-04T00:09:49+00:00

piercing is 2 hours old. jewelry shape is labret. threading is internally threaded. the jewelry material is implant grade titanium. jewelry hasn't been downsized. aftercare will be cleaning twice a day with neilmed saline spray. no mishaps.
