Can I get my earlobes pierced if I'm prone to getting epidermal inclusion cysts?

When you pierce your ears the track is completely re-epithelized so it shouldn't be prone to inclusion cyst formation. If you go a long time without wearing earring you can get some epithelium build up within the track but that's different than a true inclusion cyst. 
Hope this helps. 

Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

It should be fine but try to use 14k gold studs and avoid silver or paste earrings which could aggravate and cause infections.
