What Causes Bump And Bleeding In Ear Pierced With Gun?

i got my ears pierced about a year and a half ago (third hole) they have been really sore on and off and when they become sore they swell up and this clear puss comes out. today i noticed on the back of one there is a little bump its not hard it looks like skin but my ear started bleeding. i got them done with a gun and Im wondering if they are infected and if i should just clean them with sea salt or something or just take them out completely.

Hello
Welcome to health care
First thing you should do is stop wearing the earings. Clean the area with spirit and apply neosporin H ointment. Donot wear the earings as it may be the cause of irritation.
