Depeneds where it is...

If its any where on the cartlidge.. (eg top of your ear) It could be a small piece of cartlidge, especially if they used a gun to pierce your ear.

Otherwise, using non sterile equipment can cause a foreign object to enter under the skin ( can be microscopic. Your bodys way of protecting itself is to create a barrier between it and the object, creating your lump.

Stretching your ear lobe will just cause it to move around.

If its bothering you, go see a doctor so they can lance it and get it out

Can you take your monroe piercing out without it healing to quick?

If it is still a fresh, unhealed piercing, I would not leave it out for more than one hour (maximum) if you still want to keep it. When you get a piercing, your body starts working overtime to try and patch the hole that was just created in your body. Piercings at this stage can close within a half an hour, to 1-2 hours. If you like the piercing, do not leave it out for more than one hour. If the problem with it is, you need to hide it for work, school, etc., you can buy a clear retainer to put in it, rather than the surgical steel jewelry.

Can you change your belly ring if you just got the piercing one week before?

No you cannot, at least not just yet. Changing your belly button ring, or for that matter any other kind of body jewelry, just one week after getting a new piercing is a surefire recipe for disaster. In such short a time, there is no way that your piercing would have healed enough to enable you to change your belly ring. And if you do try it, you could very well cause your piercing to close, as at such an initial stage, a piercing can close even if left without jewelry for a few minutes. Although belly button piercings take differing lengths of time for healing in different people, it is safe for all to assume that for at least the first six months, your piercing will not have healed properly. Some people may even take up to a couple of years to have their belly piercing heal fully. But that in no way means that you have to wait for a full 2 years to change your nipple ring. Once the initial healing period has passed (about 6 months) you can proceed to change your belly ring. However, as the piercing in all likelihood will not have healed fully, it is best not to keep it free of belly rings for any length of time.
