Hello
Your bump appeared 1 month back ,and piercing was done 3 months back , so it seems to be because of excessive healing , likely a keloid.
Keloid is formed because of excessive skin formation , more in sun exposed areas. You should consult ENT specialist.
And avoid wearing any ear rings till diagnosis is confirmed .
