Cartilage piercing with saline nasal mist (experience)

So, from having a cartilage pierced almost one year now, (10 months) I haven't heal my right ear yet. I did everything to clean it, somehow it seems not working, I tried proper procedure of saline wash (homemade), tea tree oil and ear care solutions from Claire, from where I did my piercing. Then I decided to go shoppers to checked for saline solutions but I couldn't find the one that made specially for ears;

so I just bought the one that said nasal mist for roughly $5. From using this,  I made a big progress and it seems it's working for me. My Cartilage now is not as bad as previous months of suffering.

There are lots of saline solutions but I chose the one that says 0.9% Sodium Chloride. At first I tried it 4 x a day, then I went to 3 to 2 x a day. Not everybody will benefit from this but for my experience, so far so good.
