Hi,
from history it seems that there might be having some infection on piercing site causing this problem.
Due to stretching of ring with clothes might have produced some irritation and infection.
Clean the part and apply antibiotic cream.
If infection increases, go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Ok and take care.
