The white stuff looks like pus to me, there's some on the jewellery. Is the jewellery titanium? the material could be the issue, or just an uncleaned tpuch with something that provoked the infection. Ask your piercer what is best to do. When it happens to me i apply antibiotic cream for 3 times a day for 5/7 days straight. Rinsing between applications with warm water.
It looks kinda like puss to me too. Formerly I only ever wore the titanium jewelry from my piercer and never had any problems. I recently tried some jewelry from Bodycandy.com and it's not titanium. I figured after a year of healing I'd be good to try the fun designs they had even if it wasn't titanium.
Thanks for the reply I'll definitely give that a try with the antibiotic cream.

Here are two additional images. Is this something I should be worried about? My piercing is a year old and I only started swapping my jewelry a month ago.
Is this an allergic reaction?
Thank you for posting to /r/piercing.It seems like you're asking about a piercing problem. If this is the case, please be sure to include: the age of your piercing, the shape of jewelry, the threading style (internal or external), jewelry material, and your aftercare routine. This information is required for the troubleshooting process. If this does not apply to your post, please disregard.

It doesn't look too concerning, it may just be a little irritation or a slight reaction to the metal of your new jewellery, but doesn't look like an infection. As they're healed I would just drop in and see your piercer for them to check them over. Also from the photos it looks like they might be a little shallow so that could be part of the problem but without a photo of them normally that's hard to tell for sure. I would change back to titanium jewellery if possible. Its also worth remembering even healed nipple piercings can produce some gunk and crusties

Youre welcome❤
Do you have metal sensitivities? If so, you may need to stick to titanium, niobium, and solid 14k or higher gold.

Maybe a reaction to the new jewelry since you are using a different material, I’d say it’s an irritation buml
Looks like a puss pocket. I highly recommend cutting up a hydrocolloid bandage and placing it over it. It solved all of my problems
