how can I get rid of an infection in my closed nose piercing?

Q: my nose piercing was infected on and off for months after I got it and it was ticking me off. i decided to take the jewelery out and let it close up. While it was closing up it got infected and I am afraid it closed over the infection. now there is a nasty lump on the inside and outside of my nose (which I believe is the infection). Any ideas of how to get rid of it?
