Don't remove the jewelry. Change it for something that has less contact with the bump but you have to keep jewelry in an infected piercing. Be sure that its either titanium, surgical steel, or glass. Before you worry about the bump, handle the infection. GO to a doctor to get antibiotics to help clear it up. You can try a few things for the bump. You can use tea tree oil, bio oil, vitamin E oil, and chamomile tea bags. For the oil, put it on after you clean your piercing and leave it to soak all day then rise it off at night when you do your regular cleaning. TTO can be drying so try it every other day. You can use vitamin E oil everyday. For the tea bag, you can either soak it in plain warm water or mix some natural sea salt into the warm water and hold it onto the piercing to let it soak.. That way you'll be doing the sea salt soak and the chamomile tea together. You can use the chamomile tea bags on the day that you don't use tea tree oil. It can take either days or months to get rid of the bump/HT scarring. It depends on how large/old it is and your body.

Is a helix piercing the same as a cartilage piercing?

A helix piercing is a type of cartilage piercing but its the specific name for when you get the top of your cartilage pierced. I'll try to attach a picture of what a helix piercing tends to look like. A cartilage piercing is more of a general term that could refer to any of the many cartilaginous areas of your ear being pierced.
