It's likely just scar tissue - nothing serious. If you're concerned or have any pain, see a doctor immediately. Note: Try not to play with it too much. This is a common way to get bumps, lumps, or any other type of uncomfortable things around the hole. If it is a new piercing (like you mentioned), playing with it will only further these lumps.
-- Okay, I got a cartilage piercing about a month ago and everything was fine until about two weeks ago. It started to hurt really bad and it was sore constantly, but i thought it was just the healing process. Well, when i looked closer, it turns out i had a lump behind it. It was all red and gross, so i decided to pop it. It helped for a while, but the lump came back, so i went to see the person who pierced my ear. He told me that i had a small keloid. He told me that i should clean it out with salt water everyday or use neosporin on it every three days.
either way, he told me it would take about a month to clear up.
It was caused by bacteria that had gotten under the skin around my piercing, and it could very likely happen to a lip piercing too.
it'll go away if you clean and take care of it regularly.

-------------------------------
Sometimes scar tissue can form or a keloid. Try using a warm Chamomile Tea bag on your piercing for 15 minutes twice a day then before going to bed, take sea salt in your hand and add a small amount of water to make a paste, rub that on the piercing and put a band-aid over it. Take it off in the morning and do another tea bag compress. Repeat this process for about a week and you should see some improvement.

What does it mean when a bump occurs next to the pierced hole in your nose?
Well it's called a "Hypertrophic Reaction". It's a reaction to the cleaner you are using on your piercing, this can be facial scrubs, cleaners, soaps and what ever else you are using on your face in the area of the piercing. Flush the piercing out daily under running water while moving the jewellery to rinse the stuff out of the piercing. Don't use any cleaners or scrubs in the area of the piercing. The flushing daily will allow the piercing to settle down over the next few days.

It's probably a bunch of white blood cells trying to get rid of the foreign body, but just in case, I would go back to the place where you got it pierced and get a second opinion from a professional because it could be infected.
