Many things can cause your ears to become infected. An infected ear lobe can be very painful, so it is better to look after them properly to ensure that they stay healthy.
There are many things that can happen when your ears are infected; they can be very sore to touch, ache, and become swollen or red, and the actual hole may be black/green/yellow and exude pus.
You can prevent these things from happening though. Good after-care is the key. Look after them they way your ear piercer told you to, and don' t share jewelry with friends.
It's a good idea to disinfect your ears at least one a week, inlcuding your earrings, after using them. And don't touch your ears with dirty hands.
