Does my stretched ear look okay? [with photos]

Just wondering if you could tell me if my ears alright. It's only my first stretch. I'm worried cause on the front the skin around the hole isn't completely flush with the rest of my ear.

It's been stretched for 2 weeks. The original stretch didn't hurt just felt tight and didn't bleed. There's also been no bloody discharge what so ever over the 2 weeks just some off white/yellow crusties. It gets itchy but once I clean off the slight crust it stops. It's not sore to touch and it doesn't hurt when I remove or put the taper in after cleaning. It looks a little 'oily' cause I put emu oil on it to moisturise the skin.

I don't know what size my original jewellery was, I've had the in my ears since I was little, I don't change them lol. The taper is 2mm at the widest end though, and it's an acrylic one.

Should I be taking it out when I sleep? I don't want the hole to shrink then have trouble getting it back in of a morning.

Put in a 12g. ring or barbell and stop playing with it. Let it heal! It should be fine if you leave it alone.
