A common problem with body piercings. When a piercing, especially a facial piercing, becomes infected it creates a swollen bump near the opening of the hole. This bump can sometimes become inflamed, turn red, fill with pus, or just be scar tissue.
It happens so often that by saying "the bump", it will be understood what you're talking about.
Causes:
insufficient cleaning of the piercing
changing the jewelery before it is healed
allergies to the metal of the jewelery
body rejecting the piercing
