I had gynecomastia surgery 5 days ago and concerned about leakage at drain tube site on left side (Photo)

After surgery there was some leakage on left side and nurse applied gauze under chester binder. Two days later when I first took off binder to wash myself, I noticed some blood pooled under tape where drain tube is inserted. Today when cleaning I noticed some blood on chest binder where fluid leaked out. I spoke to the Dr on call and he said not to be concerned and I can apply new tape. I'm worried the tube might come out. I go back in two days to have tubes removed. Should I be concerned?
