This does not exactly mean you have an infection....ears produce lymph really any piercing does, it can be thin or thick just depending on your body and if it isn't cleaned daily can cause crusties. Usually when there is an infection your lobes would be red, swollen and hot to the touch, do you have any of those symptoms? If not than its probably not an infection. Your ears should be cleaned twice daily. SSS(sea salt soaks) are your friend and you should do each lobe 1/4th teaspoon to every 1 cup of warm water. Never ever use alcohol or peroxide, even though they are used for other cleansing methods( scrapes and cuts) your ears shouldn't have any open flesh wounds, if there are then you may have ripped your lobes and should probably downsize. When you are into your second or so week you could probably start oil massages using vit e, jojoba, emu oil or holey butter(not correct spelling), do your soaks with the jewlery in, and when you shower you can remover your plugs for a little bit and wash your lobes with your usual soap......I think I got most of it but if I missed something the others will hopefully catch anything I missed.
But I honestly doubt you have an infection!
