Suggest Treatment For Lump Near Ear Piercing

I just noticed my two year old daughter has what I m guessing is a scab on the inside of one of her earring holes. I rubbed her earlobe and could feel a little ball on the inside. She s had her ears pierced since she was 5 months. I haven t noticed any puss or redness to it either. I cleaned it with the piercing solution I was given and put the earring back on but she wouldn t let me look at it long enough to see if the scab would easily come out. What should I do? Is this something I should be worried about?
