Tummy tuck incision peeled and turning pink (Photo)

My tummy tuck incision was healing. I am 11 days post op. BUT... now it's peeling and turning pink, just on one side that the JP drain is on. 1.) What causes this? 2.) Can I use neosporin? I am going back to my PS, just thought I'd ask a quick question.
