I have a hard lump on my cartilage piercing (scaffold) apparently because I kept fiddling with my bar while it was healing (I think I first changed the bar after about two days, which was stupid). Someone told me that if you have good quality earrings, it reduces the risk, but I think once it's happened (and you've tried the tips above) it's kind of tough.
If it bothers you, it's best going back to the place where you had it pierced or another piercing shop and ask for their opinion.
