What do you suggest if i stretched my ear 2 days ago (9/november/13) and its badly swollen?

Too fast? Too much?: Did you wait until your ears healed since the last time you stretched them? Did you increased by one gauge size (or more)? If it hurts when stretching - you aren't ready. You can downsize - for signs of infection seek medication attention.

Hello. I am a 37 year old woman. A few days ago I found a swollen bump under my skin on my left cheek near my ear. Over the next three days it spread to behind my ear and down my neck.
