Yellow Crust and Leaking on Stretched Ears?
I ve recently stretched up my ears (one at 3mm the other at 2mm) and they have both been collecting a yellow crust and started leaking a yellow liquid substance. I try cleaning them with salt and water as often as possible, but when I try to get rid of the crust, it seems to rip and make the yellow leaking start up again.
I m currently using acrylic, but will soon be swapping over to metal hopefully for some improvements.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? And if so, have you managed to fix it quickly or has it taken a long while? Also, will it cause visual problems once it s healed? (Scarring, discolouration etc)
Thank you!

Acrylic very well could be the problem. It's toxic and not meant for fresh stretches...in fact, it really shouldn't be worn at all. Crust and lymph (the light colored discharge) shouldn't be happening with a fresh stretch. Get to a reputable piercer and get some implant quality or glass jewelry put in there, possibly downsizing. Use the salt for your food, not your irritated wounds. Sterile saline wound wash spray twice a day.
