Hi,
Ear piercing has to be done under strict aseptic precautions, if not could lead to unnecessary complications like infections. By the details you have mentioned, I am feeling you are suffering from a keloid, which occurs on non healing wounds. These kinds of wounds occur usually on soft tissues like ear lobes, vaccine scars. They can be called as non healing scars.
I would suggest a visit to a surgeon who can get rid of it surgically.
There is no vaccine for it.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
There is no vaccine to heal it...
It is cartilage - it takes time to heal
Get yourself examined by a General Surgeon or Dermatologist - could it be a keloid?
Investigate for co-morbidities - like Diabetes..
Plastic surgery may be needed at times...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
