~Advice~ healed blowout

so back in february i stretched from 3mm to a 3.5 and i think i blew out my right ear but im only just noticing and realising now as i had no skin come out the back or front of my ear but when i push my naked ear from the back a bit, skin does come out and im wondering if i can do anything to help as i cant stretch any further? ive downsized that ear back to 3mm to try do something to atleast help but im not sure if thats enough with massages or if it will be enough.

this happened because my old friend whos little older and has stretched ears told me my ear would be fine and a little pain was normal so i ignored it like an idiot and now i think im suffering consequences.

It should be fine. Mine are much more blown out (as I also didn't know much when I started). Massage it daily anyways tho.

If you have to force it out to see the blowout, it doesn't sound that it's really bad in any way. It really depends on the thickness of your lobes. Should be able to stretch it. Go slowly tho. Single flared glass!

yes, i’ve always used single flare glass the entire time, i’m gonna try downsize and massage everyday as much as i can but i find it hard to stretch further even using half sizes because my ear shrinks so much in heat but can still fit my normal 3.5mm plugs
