Top ear piercing become a lump. Can it be treated? (Photo)

Trouble_maker
Hi doctor, 3-4 years ago I did top ear piercing (detail in picture) But it got infected, so I took it off, after a while, somehow I noticed it became a small lumb. It doesn't hurt or I have no pain, I just get annoy with it. My questions: Is it going to be danger in long term? Is it possible to remove it? How much usually does it costs? Where can I treat it? I'm located in montreal, canada Thank you and looking forward for the answer.
