Ear lobe infection: You have ear lobe infection from ear piercing. The infection may occur because of contamiation during ear piercing or afterward.

Piercing: Of course it will hurt if you pierce your septum and dimples. The nose is very sensitive and the piercing has to go through several layers. You put yourself at risk for infection and scarring, too. Piercing through your dimple is a bad idea too. You risk infection and scarring and there is the added risk of damage to the facial nerve resulting in a crooked smile.
