Taking out gauges?? Help please.?

-Well my ears were a two gauge and i had to take them out.

When you take them out are you supposed to go to go down sizes or just take them out?

The hole in my right ear is kinda swollen and crusty.. Is that normal?

I've had them out for a day now.Just take out the gauge entirely, be sure to apply some sort of antiseptic to avoid infection. It sounds like you stretched it a bit too fast and your skin started to tear. Your skin will holes will shrink eventually unless you have those giant gauges like some African tribes.
you can just take them out and they will close on there own. they will slowly close since it is a hole but with the swelling is probably cuz of irritation and for the crusys just clean it and itll be ok. Good luck.
normal.
