Does This Drain Need to Come Out 10 Days Post-Op Tummy Tuck? (photo)

April 6, 2013

I have been producing 25ml for the last 3 days. Today it is the color of pale yellow. My drainage tube insertion is bothering me. It is red, a little sore and has crusty discharge where the drain pokes into my body. Does it need to come out?
