What Causes Lump On The Cheek With Whitish Discharge?

My niece had a bump on her cheek for about two years and yesterday after we went swimming in the lake and playing in the chlorinated water park, my sister scratched it and out popped a whiteish large round calcification. What is this caused from and will it come back?
