it's one person against more, u CAN get any piercing but if the infection persists then i would take their word for it.
the only way it gets infected is either,
1. your body hates you and you have terrible immunity to take care of it.
2. it naturally gets infected since it's an open wound.
3. you constantly touch it with unwashed hands to a point it's gross & irritated.
4. unprofessional establishment that does not care for sterilization of medical instruments.
it all just depends though, we work differently than one another but if you DO WISH to get another piercing & worry for infections then i would recommend buying H2Ocean since it's a notable brand to treat fresh piercings immediately OR head down to your (DIFFERENT) doctor & have a conversation with them about an alternative solution with your infections.
doctors are smart, sure, but it's always okay to look for second opinions than rely on one if you're reaaally trying to get another piercing.
have you tried fake piercings though?
you won't really get the feeling of an actual piercing since the magnet causes pressure against your skin but if you temporarily would like to try one out i'd look into it more than an actual piercing that would really cost more to have + take care of.

i have a question
i got my second lobe piercing done (first lobe was done when i was a baby) in june/july this year, and the piercer told me that i can change the earrings after a week. so i removed them to apply more oil and it got infected, causing a part of my piercing stud to get under my skin (skin started to grow over it)
i went to a doctor, he removed the piercings and now the hole is fully closed, but there is still a spot marking where the hole used to be.
i met with my doctor today, he said that i could get a piercing done at the same spot in dec, but he said that he wouldnt recommend it. i asked him about the other areas of my ear too, he said that i can get it pierced, but that he wouldnt recommend it either.
are the chances of infection higher for future piercings if i already had such an infection? should i get it pierced or not? what do you guys think?
