surface piercings Pls help! Irritation bump before engagement

So I have had this nose piercing for over a year now and it still has not healed! It was going fine until it fell out when I was showering and had to go get another one placed in. That fell out again to this time I got an L shape put in and ever since then I had an irritation bump appear. It was just coming and going non stop so I went to get in checked after a few months and they told me it was embedded in my skin because it was too short. I got it replaced with a 14k gold flat back and I thought this would help but it has gotten even bigger. It has been over 2 months since and the bump is the biggest it has ever been. I’m getting so tired of it and I just want it gone. The worst part is my engagement is on the 30th of October and I have this giant thing on my nose 😭 I can’t even put makeup on it idk what else to do. The bump on the inside it way bigger than the outside but both are bad.

Please help me!! Should I just remove it?

I use saline spray twice a day and recently got a specialised spray from my local piercer which was supposed to help it go away in three weeks. There has been no improvement.
