It's hard to say whether you have an infection or. It without seeing a picture. You may want to downsize more if you continue to have issues at 8mm. That said, of you think you have an infection, you should see a doctor.

i went down to 10mm and my left ear is perfect so i downsized my right and it just won't heal any ways to make it heal quicker or just let it heal naturally

You just kind of have to wait it out. Good, warm SSS can definitely help. Just. And sure to get your ratio right or you could irritate your ears more. 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt (sea salt or kosher salt) per cup of water is just about right.

Good luck!
