I'd recommend mostly what Flem (femme fatale) has said. Decide what earrings you want in (though have a good quality pair, not a really cheap one), leave them in and don't play with them. Clean them as she's put and leave them for a few weeks. Provided the lump isn't hot/ red then it's likely not to be infection and it sounds more like it's scar tissue. Sadly some people are left with that for life. Some it does reduce and some it goes completely. It (along with infections) is much more common with (though not solely down to) piercing guns due to how harsh they are (and with infections the way how the whole thing isn't sterilised). So what I'm saying is unless it's hot/ red then leave it for now as it's likely to be scar tissue/ similar. If it is then leave the earrings in place but see a doctor. If it is 'scar' tissue then it may or may not go down given time and often even if it does you're left with a remnant of it.
