Gauge down. Just as you slowly..

Gauge down. Just as you slowly increased the size of the
gauge to stretch out the lobe you will need to gradually
decrease the size of the gauge in order to return the lobes
back to its smaller size. Allow the lobe to heal completely
before gauging down to another smaller size. This process
usually takes about two months. If the lobe has grown all
the way up around the smaller gauge then you are ready to go
to a smaller size. Have your piercing artist suture the
holes shut. Surgery is the fastest option in closing gauged
lobe holes, but it might not look the most natural at the
end of the process due to possible scarring. Take the gauges
out, and let your lobes close up on their own. However, this
method will not work for everyone. Success with this method
is largely dependent upon how large the gauge holes are and
how quickly you stretched them. Slower is better when it
comes to gauging. Use skin-colored earplugs to give the
appearance the gauged holes are closed. This is especially
useful if you just want to temporarily get rid of your
gauges for a special event.

When you gauge your ears you can gauge them out with a
taper. A taper slowly goes through your ear increasing the
size of the gauge. First, you should never skip a gauge when
your trying to make them bigger. Only go up one size every
time.
You probably tore the hole. If you keep it clean and take
care of it like you would when you first get something
pierced it should heal but may have some scarring that could
make it more difficult to gauge because scar tissue is
different from skin and regular tissue.
If it gets infected you need to go see a doctor. If your
gauge gets infected the you need to take out your gauge and
clean. is to do sea-salt soaks. As a general rule, you mix 1
teaspoon of sea-salt for every 1 cup of water. You should
submerge the area for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
In addition, the only "safe" materials for fresh stretches
are Titanium, 316L surgical steel, and glass.
