If the bump is exactly where the piercing is, it is probably a hypertrophic scar or keloid. Do not try to have it surgically cut, as that might cause an even bigger bump. Local injection of corticosteroid might be the most reasonable, but you should see a dermatologist for more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Remember, I do not even have a photo to examine.
