it sounds like a keloid. in which case, no, it may not go away. could be just infection trapped in there. if a piercing is infected, you should leave the jewelry in, so the infection can drain out, otherwise the wound closes and the infection gets stuck in there.
i know for keloids with the jewelry in, you use salt water soaks at least once a day. i don't know what to tell you about this, but go back to your piercer.

Didn't your piercer tell you not to remove the jewelry until you were fully healed?! You're probably going to need to go to the hospital to make sure all the fluids are draining correctly. Your hard bump is probably a nasty infection that wouldn't be nearly so bad if you hadn't taken the jewlery out and closed off the exits for the bacteria. Next time, follow all the instructions from your piercer! They are professionals!
