Day 1 & 2 - Rubber bands of doom!

It's been fifteen minutes since I've put on my rubber bands and the throb has started. I can only imagine that it can get worse than this. The time is 10.16pm and I feel this is the best time to do it for me because I am currently on holiday (So I am mostly at home, being comfortable) and because I am about to go to sleep. I will be sleeping through the most painful parts of the process.

I can feel the pain, it is sore. Because this is my second time doing this, I know what to expect. I have tied on more bands. a combination of plastic elastic and rubber bands. I probably have 5-7 in total on my ear right now. Last time I had only put on two plastic elastics. I'm hoping to speed up the process this time round. I have a good feeling about this.
Last time it took a while for it to turn a lil purple, but it's changing colour very quickly. I might just call it a night now to make the pain go awayyyy.

See you in the morn.

Before I did fall asleep last night. I was in tremendous pain! Even though it is only on a small portion of my body, that little bit was in excruciating pain! No pain, no gain. This morning it has a sting to it. Very bearable tho. Can't wait for this to be over.

Update photos of it at noon and evening. The pictures don't capture the change well, but it has gone more purple. Looking forward to a black dead keloid.

    2. I'm sorry I'm yonks late. how are you doing now? If rubber bands don't work then I would've used string and go round and round and round until it was super tight. The string will loosen as the keloid shrivels, so I'd recommend tightening it after every shower because it'll soften it thus making it easier to tighen without tugging on dried puss. lol

  2. Wash in cold water, using no soap. If doing as a class, you can wash them all together at the same time.  corrugated plastic boxes manufacturers
