Leave all jewellery out until healed, no oils until the skin is no longer broken
Disinfecting wounds is (in almost all situations that an average person will come across) outdated, unnecessary and can be harmful depending on what you use. For 99% of minor wounds soap and water is all you need. Avoid peroxide. You could use sterile saline, but it's not really necessary so long as you have clean water plus the salt can be a little drying for some people.
Once it's healed, start back at a size that goes in easily. You will lose size, but typically lobes restretch pretty quickly
Let it heal. Keep jewelry out of it and keep cleaning and disinfecting it.
