Continue to clean it with the natural sea salt and if its still not healthy in a week, maybe use antibiotic cream on it. Neosporin is a good example. Just be sure to get the cream and not the ointment. The ointment is like vaseline and much too thick for piercings. When you use any creams, rub them in completely. Don't cake them up around the piercing because it'll stop the piercing from draining properly.
