Well, no-- it's like toe jam, or navel lint. A healed piercing exudes sebum, a waxy secretion from the skin, plus dead skin cells, etc. We call it "the funk" and it occurs on all healed piercings--it's one of the ways you can tell it's healed. Regular cleaning of healed piercings is very important, but it still occurs.
The hydrogen peroxide will work well for cleaning it off your jewelry. Just be sure not to use it on acrylic, because it will melt.
Personal habits, i.e., not eating lots of crap, keeping hydrated, etc. will make the body smell sweeter (piercings or not).
