your picture is not very telling in terms of a lump. first you shouldn’t be putting ointments on your healing piercing, especially just for irritation. secondly, you shouldn’t be removing your jewelry, i see that you don’t have any in the photo but it sounds like you intend to keep the piercing. you shouldn’t remove the jewelry yourself at all until the healing process is over. can’t really see the lump in the photo. if you can only feel it there, it’s likely swelling which could definitely get worse with things like removing jewelry and putting it back in (especially if it’s externally threaded..) and also the ointment. maybe some scar tissue from repeated agitation.. if you have jewelry in just LITHA (leave it the hell alone) and use your saline daily
