fuck okay I need help really badly;

I was cleaning out my gauges, like I do every night, and I noticed that my right ear has been in intense pain, so I used a q-tip with water and some cleaning solution on it, when I put  the q-tip down I noticed that they’re was A LOT of blood on the q-tip, and when I looked at my ear it was bleeding, really badly. Its like bleeding everywhere right now and I don’t know what to do/whats wrong. OH and its really swollen right now too.. 
Someone help me.. or reassure me I’m not dying. ;__; 

Blood means that you tore the fistula. Do a sea salt soak (1/8 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt for every 8oz of warm water. Soak your lobe for 5-10 minutes), +leave your jewelry out for a day. Downsize 2 sizes, +make sure the plugs you wear are glass or stainless steel. Also, do not stretch again for at least 3 months. You need to give your lobes a break +let them heal up completely. Good luck!
