Piercing not Healing?

I got my earlobes pierced on November 9th of last year at a professional tattoo parlor with a needle. The earring is a small 18 gage hoop made of surgical steel. I've been cleaning it daily with saline and once every two days with antibacterial soap- Like they told me to at the parlor. Its still not healed...there is still white blood cell discharge coming out and its sore when i push at the earring. I can see that its not healed cause of the pinpricks of red surrounding the piercing at the back and front of the lobe. Its definitely not infected though cause this is the 2nd time pierced on the same spot. I know what an infection looks like. The 1st time was 8 years ago and they definitely got infected that time so I took them out and they grew back. This is the repiercing.

Am i just a slow healer? I've noticed that my earlobes are kinda of thin and they don't get that much blood supply. maybe this is why? i dunno....
