Lori Devices discussion

I possess a ringless Lori #5 with a PA. I’ve had it for quite a while, but only recently attempted to keep it on continuously without removing it once daily. Last week I managed three consecutive days, though that turned out to be excessive. My member became very tender and now sports an infected wound near the piercing. The fit is excellent. It aligns with Lori’s recommendation, which seems perfectly accurate in my view. While I cannot reach orgasm, I am still able to achieve a near-full erection. Comfort levels are generally good (most of the time). My piercing has been around for six years and healed properly, so that isn’t an issue. Even though it is only 8g, there seems no problem with it based on what I can see. The tender area sits closer to the tip of the penis, along the string of foreskin extending toward the base. It appears to have torn slightly. Hygiene has been solid. I rinse thoroughly and avoid any unpleasant odors. My query is: do you experienced users have any practical advice for getting past this? Should I rinse more often or use additional lube (I currently apply some)? That will be my next step once healed, but what else can I try? What direction should I head in?
