my ear is swelling due to new silicon gauges?!
Question: My ear is swelling due to new silicon gauges?
I got the right one in just fine, but when I went to put the left one in I guess it pulled some of the inside of my ear outwards and now its swollen and pussy. I have been using hydrogen peroxide multiple times a day to maybe get it too heal faster, but I feel like its just getting bigger.. Can anyone help me out? its really starting to hurt and becomes a pain.

Silicone plugs are not recommended because many people have reactions to silicone. Ditch them and use different ones.
Do some warm water and sea salt soaks daily, and ice them to help with the swelling. If there is an infection your ear will be painful, hot, possibly bleeding, and have some pus. In my opinion your ear does not sound infected.
Also, did you use any type of lube while stretching? If not, I recommend using Holy Butt'r next time.
you might have blown you ear out, which means that you went too big of a size too fast. it will heal after awhile. use some type of ointment or rinse with salt water( warm water mixed with salt).When it heals, if it is blown out, the old skin that was on the inside of your hole will be pushed to the outside. making the outside of your hole will be dry and will start peeling. hope this helps :/
Your ear is likely infected. You need antibiotic ointment and will have to remove the gauge.
