Its red.around the top hole and slightly red round bottom whole of piercing. Not leaking much fluid anymore. I started using bactine on the piercing after the soap washes, followed by pollysporin, the redness seemed to go down a bit but I want to see less redness more often. Any suggestions on how to bring the redness down faster?

Stop using soap, stop using polysporin and bacterine. Use only salt water washes with clean cloth every time about twice a day. Keep used faceclothes away from the area and keep hands clean when treating the area.
