Go slow, don’t try and stretch to fast! And make sure your plugs or stretchers are clean as well as clean your ears.

Go slow and be meticulous with cleaning your jewelry and your piercing. I’m an avid user of pure sea salt solutions. I wash my piercings and gauges with a non scented bacterial soap then spray the area and gauges with sea salt solution. I never put my plugs or hangers in without using either a non scented facial lotion in or jojoba oil. The key is keeping the area clean and moisturized.
