This is normal. It's making a tunnel for the earring to go in. The bumps will get smaller as the hole heals. After a few years, you'll have to search for the bump. It will be very tiny.
If you've had the piercing for only four weeks then yes, it will close relatively quickly. My lip piercing was two years old and closed up in only a few days, leaving a small scar. If you don't want it to close but do want it to go unnoticed look into piercing retainers.
Either seek medical advice or go back to the place where the piercing was done.
You are trying to fix too big a stud in too small a hole. now you need to treat the piercing like a new piercing for a few weeks till the tear in the piercing heals.
The initial healing takes about 2-6 weeks which varies from person to person. After that a shorter piercing should replace the usually long healing jewellery.
No piercing takes three weeks to heal! The human body doesnt work like that, the body takes much longer to heal any piercing regardless of what or where it may be. If some one told you there piercing was "healed in three weeks", they are feeding you a line.
Simple answer go back and talk to the one who did the piercing, they are accountable for the job they do and they should render assistance to you when you have issues with the piercing. That's why they charge you so much, they are suppose to help you when you need help. Go talk to them.
