Well that would be a hypertrophic reaction, this is a reaction to the so called "cleaning product" you are using. Stop using it and wash the piercing with lathered and diluted antibacterial liquid soap and plenty of water once a day, ensure you flash the piercing with lots of warm water after cleaning with the soap. Use nothing else on the piercing, the bumps will ease off in a few days and the piercing should return to an almost normal state. Throw the "cleaning product" in the garbage.
