A bump near a new piercing is most likely a Keloid. A Keloid is basically a scar cause by condensed scar tissue from the piercing. I have a few due to piercings, and I've noticed that as time goes on, the Keloids become less noticeable and irritating. It's very common and nothing to worry about. However, if it begins to enlarge or hurt really bad, seek medical attention as you may have an infection.

I have a small bump on the exit of my conch piercing its new its not red or irritated it can hurt if i bump it though so i have tea tree oil how should i use it?
Use a q-tip and just dab the bump with the oil. Use it after you clean your piercing. I usually apply it twice a day but if that's too harsh for your piercing, only use it once a day. You don't want it to go inside the piercing, just on the bump. The oil will dry out the bump and it'll start flaking off in layers. If the tea tree oil doesn't affect it, it could be the jewelry. Especially if its a ring and gets hit often.
Is it safe to get your nose repierced when previously it would often get swollen and get a white bump near it?
Yes, it is. Just not if the bump is still there. Just take care of it this time. The bump that you refer to is normal for new nose piercings. I (as well as any other good body piercer) would recommend H2Ocean for the aftercare of your piercing. Make sure that you go to a clean, sterile shop!

Will this bump over your Tragus piercing go away?
The bump you are referring to is most likely what is called Hypertrophic Scarring. Scarring of this type is usually caused by excessive irritation to the piercing. This irritation can come from overcleaning, overusing salt water, playing with the jewelry, changing jewelry too often, etc. Clean the piercing once a day with antibacterial (Dial) soap -- not more than that. Salt water soaks can be very damaging to your piercing of overused or abused. If you must use salt water soaks, never more than once a day. Pick one piece of jewelry, and stick with it. The more you change your jewelry, the more irritated your piercing is going to get. Never touch your piercing unless it is to clean it -- it is a bodily ornament, not a toy! When you do clean it, make sure your hands are washed first. Dirty hands spread bacteria! Good luck!
