Did you have it pierced by a piercer or with one of those guns?
Are you cleaning it with sea salt? Antibacterial soap?
Cartilage bumps can sometimes be dissolved by crushing up aspirin and rubbing on the bump. Just continue the sea salt rinses and DON'T touch your piercing unless you you are cleaning it.
Don't be taking your piercing out if you want to keep it. Taking it out and putting it back in creates unneeded trauma.
What type of metal is the jewelry?
