Removing nipple piercing TMI

Has anyone removed their nipple piercings before? I took mine out in April (I’ve had them for over 3 years) and I don’t think my nipples have healed yet. When I squeeze them some stuff would come out the piercing hole (gunk I assume). Now when I squeeze them I have this stuff come out my actual nipple. Like straight out the front of my nipple. Should I be squeezing them? I stopped for a bit to see what would happen. All that happened is that there was just more stuff to squeeze out. My nipples (I believe) have been swollen for the whole time I’ve had the piercings.
