How Do I Make My Scabbed Ear Lobes Heal Faster?

• I've been stretching my ear lobes for months. I was trying to stretch my lobes to 0g (8mm), but it is one of the biggest stretches. To help a little with this stretch and other stretches, I put teflon tape on my 2g (6mm) plugs. I did not smooth out the tape correctly, and the tape actually cut the inside of my lobe. I thought that my ear had healed, so I attempted the 2g (6mm) to 0g (8mm) stretch. I stretched both lobes, my right ear being easier than my left (the one with the cut). The next day, I noticed the left ear lobe was swollen. I took the jewelry out and my ear started bleeding, a lot. I'm guessing that I have ripped my ear. Since I don't want different sizes in each ear, I took both plugs out and am now letting them close. I want to stretch them again, being more careful this time around. What are the best ways to heal my lobes? The left one is scabbed, and the right is beginning to scab due to closing.

• Answer:

  My ears scabbed after stretching, so I took them out and let them close before re trying, I just used antiseptic creams and it worked great. To prevent them scabbing again after I had re stretched, I cleaned them 3 times a day with tepid salt water.
