welcome to Health care magic.
1.Its infection caused to the pierced area.
2.That infection is causing pus collection which seems like a lump with pain.
3.Do not wear any rings for some time - leave it free. Clean the area with antiseptic liquid and local anti inflammatory cream will be helpful.
4.A course of antibiotic treatment also helps in better healing.
5.Get an appointment and examined and get treatment.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
