Is this shape normal?

I noticed that when I take my jewelry out, my piercing hole has a little circular indentation at the upper-right edge (visible in the photos). The hole itself doesn’t hurt, isn’t irritated, and stretching has been going fine.

Is this just normal anatomy or the way the piercing tract healed? Does anyone else’s lobe look like this, or is it something I should keep an eye on?

I did stretch my ears in highschool (very badly) and blew out my ears and got an infection. Is this remnant scar tissue? I’m over a month out from my last stretch and I had no issues with it when I sized up.

Are my ears doing well?

When I was in highschool I naively treated my ears terribly. I (embarrassingly) stretched to 0g in 2 months, put silicone in and then got an infection and had to take them out. I’m trying to do things right this time around (it’s been almost 10 years at this point since that happened). My goal is 00g and I’m at 4g right now. Do my lobes look like they’ll handle that size? I think I have some scar tissue from what I did before, but I’m not an expert and want to know what you guys think.

How long do you wait for silicone jewelry?

Is 2-4 weeks really enough time? How will you know if it’s sticking or having a reaction before it’s too late? Sorry for the silly questions, I’m just nervous about trying a new material. Ive never used acrylic or silicone out of fear of hurting my progress.
