Generally, it is not necessary to clean it. If it is particularly dirty, you can clean it by scrubbing with an alcohol swab. Alcohol has fat-dissolving properties, making it effective and also has a disinfectant effect. Otherwise, do not pick or rub it with your hands, as it can easily lead to reinfection.
