I tore my ear! I tore my goddamnmotherfucking ear! Last night I noticed that one side was really swollen, and the pain hadn't decreased any since I put the bigger plug in on saturday, so I took it out to give it a good cleaning. Lo and behold (this is very gross) when I pulled the plug out it was completly coated in thick yellow pus, and when I held cotton balls soaked in warm water on either side of my lobe it started bleeding and pussing and throbbing. Awesome! 
I wasn't sure what to do, so I put my old smaller plug in it after givin it a decent wipe down. I'm going to try to take it out in the shower today to give it a nice long rinse. I just woke up and its still as swollen as it was yesterday, which kind of freaks me out, so I'm going to watch it really closley. If anybody has input on how to handle this bitch let me know!

Oh shit 
Not cool not cool not cool 
Sounds like it got infected by the new plug. I would alternate ice and heat to keep the bleeding to a minimum and promote killing the infection. Use a topical triple antibiotic ointment, but use a very thin coat, 3-4 times a day. I know it is a bitch, but you will have to pull the plug out each time you clean it If it remains hot to the touch and overly tender over the next few days, you might need to get a presciption antibiotic. Dammit, can't leave you alone for 5 minutes little missy
