How To Get Rid Of Bump After Nose Piercing?

Daughter got a nose piercing and now has a bump at the piercing site. She has tried the sea salt, & aspirin paste. She is reading online that Tea Tree Oil may help and some are even suggesting Dettrol. Is the Dettrol safe to use and could Tea Tree Oil actually work. She suffers from persistent Acne and is worried about using any oil on her face. Comments on these recommendations or Any other ideas on how to get rid of this bump is greatly appreciated.
