I had a platysma done 6 months ago. I noticed about 3 days ago it's red behind my ear, could this be an infection? (Photo)

It's red where the incision was made. It hurt but not too much (that area is pretty much) and yesterday I noticed a small hole and bloody water was coming out. Is this a sign of infection? I’ve applied neosporin.
