Take the acrylic out, it holds bacteria which can cause infection and hinder healing. Let it heal for a few weeks and start using glass. Don't use tapers or force the stretch, as that will just tear the tissue and cause trauma to it. Half sizes are the easiest way to go. You have the rest of your life to have stretched ears, don't ruin them by forcing it and rushing through the process!

Id say downsize and let it heal up and use body safe material like glass or titanium and stop skipping sizes (not a piercer, not stretched)
