will neosporin work or will that make it worse?

Neosporin is not for use on puncture wounds, read the package.
Sounds like you're over cleaning. Drop down to 2 times a day, and make sure you're gentle with it. Do you have straight or curved barbells? Straight one's won't work in an eyebrow piercing, they need to be curved. Did you get it caught on anything while you were sleeping (or any other time?)
Try doing an actual soak instead of just using the spray. You're piercing sounds irritated, just baby it and it should be fine.

make helpful it relatively is sparkling, and has an autoclave (a huge metallic sterilizer) in undeniable sight. Ask them their technique, and decide from there to comprehend if it relatively is secure. (ie, any credentials they have, how long they have been piercing, etc.). an infection, rejection, and migration are all hazards of eyebrow piercings. Mine replaced right into slightly swollen, and entirely bruised, whether it replaced into high quality in like each week (different than the discomfort). If it relatively is contaminated, you will see eco-friendly puss - do no longer get rid of it if it relatively is contaminated, as this merely traps the an infection. circulate to a doctor or your piercer while you're worried. you will look high quality in case you get rid of it. I even have slightly tiny scar, whether it relatively is not in all probability substantive by fact my eyebrow covers it. they look high quality on whoever, or a minimum of i think of so, as long as they are no longer self accomplished.

Since you only got it pierced two monthes ago its still considered a fresh piercing. You should make sure you have stainless/surgical steel jewelry in it and maybe your skin isnt agreeing with something in H2ocean.
I suggest you discontinue use of that and try either plain un scented dial liquid soap or sea salt soaks. Im a piercer and i have tons of piercings, and ive had similar things happen to me. It was all trial and error with aftercare until i found what worked best with my skin. For me the mildness of Dial Liquid soap is perfect and it helps moisturize the area as well. Some aftercare products like H2ocean and Bactine have alcohol or other ingredients that dry out the piercing to much.
Try switching aftercare im sure you will see changes.

Put ice on it and take some ibuprofen pills and DON'T touch it, not even to clean it, use like a cotton swab or ball.

I would go to the doctor! That is if you want to keep the piercing and your eye sight! The redness is indicative of an infection and you do not want a nasty infection around the eye area!

Maybe you're allergic to impure metal. You should buy sensitive solutions jewelry.
