Advice from people who know about piercings please?

I got my second set of lobe piercings in February and they are still not fully healed. They're not infected. They just are painful and irritated regularly. Honestly, I didn't take very good care of them at first because of mental health issues, but I've been soaking them in saline once a day for ten minutes for over a week now and I'm not sure if it's helping.

If they weren't a birthday present from my parents, I really think I'd have just taken them out, but because of that they're important to me.

Any advice?

ETA: Based on Facebook conversations, I have ordered a set of internally threaded, implant-grade titanium barbells to try swapping what's in there with. They should be here in 3-9 days and I'll try those out.
