Infected Drain Site when the Drains Were Removed? What's Going on It Looks Nasty? (photo)

Hopefully hopeful
I had my drains removed yesterday and my right side looks yellow and very red around it. Also it's bleeding as well and I noticed a secondary hole under the hole where the drain used to be. What's going on with it? It looks extremely mays to me and I'm kinda grossed out. Is this normal at all? My left drain site looks ok but definitely is a huge difference compared to my right. Is it infected? How should I treat it and make it look better? Thank you and sorry for the blurry pics. I did my best.
