All above apart fom use warm salt water two/three times a day to keep it clean, even old peirceings can get infected from time to time.
Did a change of jewelery material trigger the infection? If so, remove that jewelry and replace with something you dont react to
Also make sure jeans are below and dont rub and then put surgical spirit, thats always cured mine! Hope that helps but if its looks funny or has puss then def go to doctors.
