My brows smell. Am I supposed to be washing them? I haven't gotten them wet and have been putting aquaphor on 2x a day (Photo)

I got my eyebrows microbladed on the 10th (6days ago) and around the 4-5th day my brows were itchy and started to SMELL. I noticed the smell around the 4th day and by the 5th I was taking a q-tip and gently going across my brow, when smelling it (I know gross) it smelled BAD. Like an infection or smelly feet?? I contacted my artist and she told me to wipe them with an alcohol wipe and then put aquaphor on them. Should I do that? Is a smell a sign of infection? What should I do help!
