Get an aspirin, and put one to two drops of water on it (enough to make it into a paste), put this on the openings of the piercing (with the ring still in tact), and turn the ring (hoop, if it's a short barbell, move it up and down to get it in the hole a bit). Leave this on for about 5mins, and rinse it thoroughly...It should make the bump go away.
By the way, no...this will not hurt or burn (:
if you do it right
Get in the shower and wash the piercing using diluted liquid antibacterial soap, rotate or shuffle the jewellery (depending on what you have in the piercing a ring or a barbell). Then with running water rinse the piercing out while moving the jewellery. Exit the show dry the piercing using a clean towel and leave it alone till tomorrow when you will wash it the same way again. Do not use anything other than the above listed soap and water on the piercing. Once the piercing is clean keep your dirty hands off it, you need to wash your hands before you touch the piercing, that's how they become infected in the first place 9 out of 10 times.

No, use hydrogen peroxide or a prescribed cleanser.
Use Dial anti-bacterial scentless liquid soap.
liquid soap cleans better. elizabeth clark
No, you really shouldn't clean any piercing with alcohol. It is too harsh and will irritate the piercing. Also avoid things like peroxide and ointments. The best choice is a mild diluted liquid antibacterial soap and warm water in the shower.
When it's not healed, clean it with antibacterial soap of a liquid specifically for cleaning piercings.
No. Follow the written aftercare instructions provided to you by your professional body piercer.
Well you need to wash the piercing daily, this is what has caused your infection in the first place. Poor aftercare will lead to infections with any piercing. All piercings even healed piercings need to be washed daily when showering to ensure good piercing health. Diluted unscented liquid antibacterial soap lathered up and applied to the piercing and worked into the piercing by moving the jewellery, follow this by rinsing the piercing under warm running water (in the shower) daily will resolve 90% of piercing related infections.
Because it thinks that you will like it better when its liquid.
THE ANSWER IS LIQUID SOAP.
