What Causes Bump And Pus On Pierced Tragus?

I'm an 18 year old female. I just got my tragus pierced a month ago and it hasn't healed. However, last night while cleaning it the cotton ball got itched on the earring and pulled it out and some pus thing oozed out.This morning the same thing happened, couple minutes ago i noticed a bump like thing over it, it seems to have substance in it and it kinda hurts when i touch it. Could u advice me on what this could be and how to rid of it if possible.
