It sounds like you may be reacting to the cleaning product you are using, stop using the product and just rinse the piercing under running water while moving the jewellery back and forth. The water will draw any irritants out of the piercing, allow the piercing to dry normally and don't apply anything else to the piercing for a couple of days while doing the fore mentioned rinsing. The red lump should ease and disappear in 24 to 48 hours, if so then you have found your problem.
