Should I clean the fungus in my lens?

I know that i a pretty dumb question. But heres the thing, I have a Nikon 18-55 mm vr lens which is around 6 months old and now fungus has started growing due to the high humidity in my area. It hasn't spread very much and doesn't show up in any images. When i took it to the repair shop they said, to use for some more time and then repair as cleaning will make it regrow. But I feel a little uncomfortable with that and keep thinking whether it will make the lens unusable. And they told if want they'll clean up.
What should I do? Please help.
