Septum funk, how to clean piercing?

Mia • 💘

I got my septum pierced 2 weeks ago and the wonderful septum funk has set in. I know it’s normal for when your piercing is healing but my question that I can’t seem to find the answer on google is: Can I take my piercing out to clean it even though I just got it pierced less than 3 weeks ago? And if so will that make the smell go away?
