Best to see a doctor, especially because it smells bad.
Unless your mum is a nurse or medical professional I wouldn't take her word for it not being an infection.
Piercing bumps are very common. It's most likely just scarring. Hypertrophic scarring tends to go away with daily sea salt soaks. Keloid scarring can also develop and that can be more stubborn but is usually treatable with a home remedy. If you return to your piercer and ask them to take a look at it they would be able to confirm if it is scarring or infected. If infected they will tell you to go and see your GP.
