This one is easy - I agree with the others - leave it alone.

It would be more difficult if there was only a small patch or two of corrosion. Generally then I clean those spots because they are "damaging" the medal.

I don't and won't clean to get a nice shiny medal. Patina is an important part of the story of the medal.
