When I had this happen, I used a bandaid to tape two cotton balls soaked in hydrogen peroxide on either side of the earlobe overnight. By morning it was better. Then I used Neosporin for a couple days and everything was fine. The only problemwith the hydrogen peroxide is that it makes that bubbling sound in your ear all night long but it's worth it.
I learned infections can get very bad have puss. If it ever does get that bad clean it right away and then remove the earring. Use peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean the earring and the surrounding area several times daily. If you have a hoop-type earring, this is easily done by rotating the earring. Go to the doctor if it gets worse in a day or two. If it is also bloated and red it is defiantly infected.
you have a ear infection !
You should leave an earring in until the lobe is no longer reddened or crusty/infected. You should wear an earring frequently for a while after...
The bump inside of your earring hole is usually an indication that you have dirt, lint, debris or etc, inside of your hole. It should be painless which indicates that it is not infected. You just need to clean your earrings and ears with peroxide or alcohol and stick your earrings in your ear in the reverse, it should push the debris out.
scar tissue from the piercing procedure.
No. But you should clean your jewellery on a regular basis.

go to a doctor.
No because you need to be able to get it out or else it will get infected and need to be surgically removed.
It is unlikely that an ear piercing hole will close up immediately if the earring is removed, as the body needs time to begin the healing process. However, if the earring is removed soon after piercing, there is a possibility that the hole may start to close up.
