Smell after getting nose pierced?

I got my nose pierced about 4 days ago & I've been cleaning it like 5 times a day ever since & the pain and swelling went away but just like an hour ago I realized there is a bit of a weird smell coming from it and i don't know why. I looked in my nose and the bar on this inside and it had some stuff on the end of it. Maybe it could be that?

    Maybe it's like the spell of the ring and the stuff is nose build up. Or maybe you have an infection.

    Stop cleaning it so much you're irritating it and putting yourself at a higher risk of migration and infection. You're literally hurting it's natural healing process.

    The smell is dead skin cells and bacteria. You will always get this to a degree, especially with studs. It is normal.

    You are cleaning it too much.

    You should clean it with sterile saline spray in the morning and in the evening. Anything more than that will cause irritation and infection.

    Infection, your cleaning it to much, it should be cleaned at most 2 times a day, maybe 3, If the “pus” that you smell , get worst go see your piercing, and if you notice redness take it out right away
