A member asked:
I downsized my stretched ear to a size 8g from a 6g but the pain is still bad, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get seen: If you have "bad" pain, you may have an infection. Tale the gauge out and see a doctor. If the pain is still bad, after removal, see a doc now, especially if the ear is red, hot, or you have a fever.
