<bot>: Welcome to Chat Doctor .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. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
