First of all, you must know what type of bumps you have. Mostly, people complain about a boil or bacterial pocket around the piercing. These infections make the skin red and squirrel away pus or blood. Another type of bump is hypotrophic bump in which the skin becomes hard. However, it is not painful. The most dangerous bump is keloid scars as they are only removed through surgery.

Another way to heal bumps is to apply tea tree oil on the piercing. Just dilute a few drops of oil into a shot glass and then apply on the effected part of your skin. Tea tree oil is a natural agent to kill the germs. However, use it carefully as it is strong enough to make your skin dry.
