There's no way to be sure honestly. Some people can have piercings for years that never fully heal to the point that they don't close. If you have other piercings that have healed to that point, you can use that as a gauge but otherwise, don't remove the jewelry unless you want to risk losing the piercing :)
Cartilage piercings never close the surface tissue may shrink to obscure the opening but the hole in the cartilage is life long and will never heal up.

Close nipple refers to the length of threading on a nipple. For example, a nipple with threading on both sides that does not meet in the middle would not be a close nipple. If you were to "CLOSE" the gap between the threads, making the threading span the complete length of the nipple, then it is a close nipple.
Well it depends on a few things the type of piercing and more overly how long you have had the piercings. The older the piercings are the less likely the piercings will close completely, genital piercings will season and become toughened and therefore not as prone to closing like other piercings due to the nature of the tissue. If the piercings are new (under a year old) then the chances of the piercings closing is much greater. Ultimately if the jewellery is removed from a seasoned piercing is will shrink to a point where at first glance the piercing will not be noticeable (depending on the piercing). Male exotics Prince Alberts, reverse Prince Alberts, Ampallange and Apadrivias will remain visible even with the jewellery removed but they will shrink, but not close if over a year old. Female hood piercings horizontal or vertical, Labia majora and minora will all shrink but not close if over a year old, this also applied to actual Clitoral piercing as well.
Simply remove the jewellery and let the tissue shrink on it's own, it will take time but the piercings will recede over time.
Well the piercings will not close up completely after that period of time. It can take a year or longer for piercings over a year old to shrink and close.
Well if the piercing is done by a professional piercer you should have no problem with droopy nipples. Placement is basicly along the plain of the breast and as close to the areola as possible, using the correct gauge of jewellery (typically 14 gauge or 1.6 mm) the piercing will heal with little or no problems provided the afercare routeen is followed. Poorly placed nipple piercings (done by untrained individuals) will result in various problems, one of them being the dreaded "droopy nipples" among other problems that I have seen over 15 years in the industry.
A close nipple has very little wall thickness and still is not as close rough as a street ell /street 45 The reason for their use is in tight spaces
OK first relax, this isn't anything to worry about. Lymphatic discharge (the whitish shumutz that comes out of the piercing) is common and that is why rinsing the piercings while moving the jewellery daily during showers and bathing is important. This matter is normal and rinsing just helps move it along, as for the sudden appearance this is matter that was collecting deep in the nipple an finally discharged through a milk duct. No worries just make sure when you clean your piercings, you rinse and move the jewellery under running water daily. As for the hole in the nipple it will close and shrink back to normal over time.
It depends on the piercing.

All piercings scar that's how the hole stays open, a tunnel of scar tissue called a fistula forms around the jewellery. If you're wondering whether a noticeable mark will be left after you allow the piercing to close up, the answer is probably. Depending on the gauge of your jewellery the scar will be almost invisible.
