Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint a lump at the site of tongue piercing can be due to inflammation which is caused due to trauma to the soft tissues of the tip of the tongue leading fibrous overgrowth as well as there can be injury to small blood vessels forming hematoma and at times the hematoma gets localized and encapsulated leading to formation of a lump. You need not worry as it will heal gradually and just take care to prevent from it getting infected. Do alternate hot and cold compresses over the lump for faster healing. Do not remove the stud worn over the tongue to prevent further injury. The white color of tongue can be due to poor hygiene or fungal infection and should be taken care of to prevent spread of disease. Hope this information helps.
