Before re-piercing cartilage, especially cartilage that has been infected, you should wait at least 3 months to ensure that the area is healed and repaired.
Keep in mind, with the scar tissue and history of difficulty healing, you should expect a longer healing period and may form keloids or even get another infection.

Keep in mind that you are never supposed to remove jewelry due to an infection. It can trap the infection and spead.
Secondly, it depends on how much scar tissue there is. It doesnt hurt to massage the area with a little bit of vitamin E to "soften" the scar. Sometimes though, it can take over a year for the scar to mature and to the point you're able to get it repierced. Also, keep in mind, repiercing an area with scar tissue is going to be more dense and more painful. Have you ever thought about doing the other one?

do no longer use harsh cleansers or anti-bacterials or anti-biotics until you have already got an infection. those can irritate and supply you an infection. The peroxide would have led to your situation. you will desire to be waiting to locate sea salt at your interior of sight grocery or wellbeing nutrition shop. you additionally can use saline answer to maintain it sparkling and hydrated in case you may no longer locate any sea salt. A organic cleansing soap is likewise sturdy for cleansing--Dr Bronner's nicely-diluted, is a robust decision. in case you have an infection Hibiclens is a robust decision. you will probable would desire to get it at a pharmacy.

you have to leave it alone for a long time or its just gonna keep
getting infected.
id wait a year to be honest with you.
Same thing happened to me when i was youger in High School;
I had a nose ring and it was fine, then I let it close when i was 20,
then around 24, i got another one and it totally got infected.
I think that sometimes your health comes into play sometimes
like if youre just getting over a cold, then you can get infected easily
good luck
