Suggest Treatment For Lump That Appeared In The Pierced Area

Hi I got my belly button pierced about a year ago before I got pregnant, but I ended up putting a pregnancy ring in and I took it out after I had my baby and forgot to put it back in until two weeks after. It was still open, but now I have a lump in between the openings of the piercing. It does not hurt or anything, so I was wondering what can I do to reduce the swelling?
