Whats wrong with my ears!?

I got my ear lobes pierced when I was five years old, i recently didn't wear earrings for a few months and when i tried to put some back in my ears it really hurt and bled a little, i think my ear piercings had begun to close up. for the past month since that happened both my earlobes have weird lumps and itch quite bad, when i look at them in the mirror you can't see the lumps, all you can see are a few red lines on my earlobes. I took my earrings out 2 weeks ago but the lumps haven't gone! its really freaking me out, i thought it would pass but more lumps keep on showing up every day... please help?
