I have had my ears pierced since i was young, but have been wearing earrings for months now. took out my earring and there is a lump near the hole?!

Sounds like something called a keloid which often occurs in that scenario. If it isn’t red, painful, with discharge, or enlarging nothing to do but if any of those develop please be examined by your doctor.
